A pair of British women arrived on Australia’s east coast on Saturday after a gruelling six-month journey rowing across the Pacific Ocean from Peru.

Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne crewed their boat in two-hour shifts, catching fish and growing their own vegetables to sustain themselves along the way.

The duo say they are the first all-female crew to make the roughly 13,000km (8,000 miles) voyage across the Pacific nonstop and unsupported.

Leaving Peru in April, they arrived to the cheers of supporters in Cairns, Australia, on October 18. They spoke to the BBC about their experience shortly after they completed their journey.
