Alone across Australia

Adventurer Jon Muir is up for a massive challenge: he wants to accomplish the first unsupported traverse of the Australian continent. His route of 2.500 kilometers leads through the one of the driest deserts on earth and there are no food depots, so he has to live from the land and find water and food along the way. During the last few years he has made three attempts to fulfill his dream - but so far his attempts were in vain. But Jon doesn't give up and takes off to his adventure trip with map, compass and his loyal companion, terrier Seraphine.
