The 21-year-olds are hoping to arrive on the steps of the Sydney Opera House by Friday, February 21, with $20,000 in the kitty.
Today the duo clocked up 35km from Lake Liddell to arrive at the Singleton Sundial by 3pm.
There they were greeted by locals including Jamie Newman who had been following the Singleton Argus' coverage throughout the day.
"I just want to say, these two are doing a great job and they should be really proud of their efforts," Mr Newman declared.
The pair will then continue the trek from the local landmark at 7:30am tomorrow when heading to Broke.
"We've been feeling so much support as we entered Singleton today and each time we hear a beep or receive a wave it breaks up the walk and keeps us motivated," Badger told Singleton Argus earlier this afternoon.
"We get really excited every time we hear a beep, we absolutely love it," Goff added.

His English counterpart has called Australia home for one year and has been working at Yarraman Park for the past three months.
The duo have also asked the Singleton public for accommodation tonight.
