Unmotorised Australia Crossing
Adventure supported by Back Country Cuisine
Unmotorised Australia Crossing through the furthermost capes of mainland Australia
and the highest summit of each mainland state and territory.
In 2013 I had an idea to cross Australia unmotorised. During 9 years of preparations it became an obsession.
Finally in 2019, after 17 years of living in this beautiful country, I became Australian citizen.
I can't imagine better way of celebrating it than go for a "walk" - to know my new home and thier people better :)
