Goes to show that a week or a month is one thing, but smashing it out for a year is a whole different kettle of badgers. You really have to be lucky not to have something fuck up along the way.
Who knows whether the flights either way will help, not sure about the Adelaide winters. He'll certainly get a rest on the flights, but won't be as good as rest in a proper bed somewhere. Losing 48 hours of the year to flying isn't great either (since he plans on flying back to NZ near the end of the year he won't benefit from timezones or the international date line) plus he'll get collecting a bonkers amount of jetlag from the flights.
I do hope his knee problems clear up and he can continue though, everyone deserves a clean shot at something like this.
