After 12,700 kilometres paddling her surf ski around mainland Australia, former ironwoman Bonnie Hancock says in hindsight, she "had no idea what was coming".
"There's a part of me that's very glad I didn't," Ms Hancock told the ABC on a satellite phone as she paddled into the Gold Coast Seaway.
"I've been near hypothermic, the biggest shark sightings — oh my goodness so scary — and definitely some crocodiles up there in the Kimberley.
"If I knew all of that was coming I might of thought twice but it's been far more incredible and also hard than I ever imagined."
