Four New Zealand rowers trying to cross the Tasman Sea are on the home stretch of their journey.

Team Gallagher set off from Australia on 27 November in an attempt to be the first New Zealand team to row from Sydney to Auckland.

Nigel Cherrie, James Blake, Martin Berka and Andrew McCowan hope to reach the Auckland Harbour Bridge by Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.
