Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov has broken the record for the
fastest circumnavigation of the Earth in a hot air balloon in just over 11 days,
landing safely in WA's Wheatbelt.

Mr Konyukhov, who set off from Western Australia's Avon Valley on July 12,
landed near the small town of Bonnie Rock about 4.30pm (WST).
