Alone Across Australia

Jon Muir sets out to walk unsupported across Australia, from Port Augusta on the Spencer Gulf to Burketown on the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is a journey of 2500 kilometres that crosses one sealed road and three deserts, and Muir sets out with just a compass, 55 maps, water containers, camping and first-aid equipment, a camera and a gun. He will drag this gear on a two-wheeled cart harnessed to his body. Apart from limited supplies of rice, flour and muesli, he will live off the land. His only companion, an adorable jack russell terrier, Seraphine, scampering along beside him.
