He then sprayed a magnum of champagne over the side of the balcony,took a few gulps,and disappeared inside for some quiet time ahead of a party with his friends and family.

Brockmann’s best friend and photographer Bradley Farley said it was overwhelming to arrive in Sydney after “being in a bubble for 47 days,just chatting with eagles and kangaroos”.

Farley,one of a team of support people for Brockmann on the road including his parents Kylie and Ian,girlfriend Jemma Griffin,a physiotherapist and sponsor,said he never doubted his mate would complete the run,which equates tomore than 270 City2Surfs.

“It takes a special person to do this,but he doesn’t have ‘quit’ in him,” Farley said.

Brockmann’s fundraiser for homeless charity Mobilise had surpassed $1.5 million - smashing his initial $1 million goal - by the time he finished.

Mobilise founder Noah Yang said the money would make a huge change to the services they could provide,and had also raised awareness of homelessness.

“Looking out at everyone here it’s also about the conversation that’s been started,” Yang said. “First there was climate change,then mental health and homelessness can be the next frontier[that people engage with].”

Brockmann’s campaign has been closely documented on hisInstagram page with his diet of meat pies,Sour Patch Kids,and Krispy Kreme doughnuts capturing attention across the globe.

He has received a series of video messages of support,including from his favourite NRL team,the Parramatta Eels,and UFC star Israel Adesanya.

Speaking on radio station 2GB on Monday morning,his mother Kylie said there was nothing that could stand in the way of her son completing his run.

“He will be in hospital before he stops,” she said.
