Vet nurse rides to Outback record

A British veterinary nurse has galloped into record books by becoming the first woman trek across the Australian Outback on horseback.

Anna Hingley, 24, from Stourbridge, West Midlands, finished the 2,000-mile trip in Cairns, Queensland.

She and her partner John Ostwald began their trek in Broome, Western Australia, five months ago.

A civic reception has been arranged for the pair in Cairns. Their trek raised £4,000 for an Outback charity.
