Prince Albert man down under, turns up safe after week long silence
Prince Albert’s Layton Keddy is well known for his thrill seeking adventures but he’ll be the first to admit he never anticipated the attention he would receive after being reported missing.
Earlier this month, the 32-year-old Carlton graduate set on a 330 km trek across the Australian Divide – a route that even the most seasoned cyclists describe as challenging. Prior to leaving however, Keddy posted a mysterious status update to his Facebook page, describing the need to feel the way Neil Armstrong did when he walked on the moon.
“I won’t say goodbye because I know I can do it but I’m warning you now that I will be gone for a while. I have to find my limit,” he said.
Keddy then proceeded to shut his phone off. Six days later, a friend, who was assisting him with his maps, got worried and after calling Keddy’s mom to let her know he had not heard from Keddy, proceeded to call Victoria police.
