Crossing Australia on foot - Melbourne to Cape York - 144 days - 5000km - Solo & unsupported

Hi there!

This is a documentation about my walk across Australia in 2019.
I did not plan to hike the length of Australia, but different circumstances changed my plan. I had actually planned to hike the 5330km long Bicentennial National trail, which goes from Cooktown to Healsville.
However, first i walked the Great North walk (Sydney-Newcasle-250km), then 450km on the Australian Alps walking track before i got stopped by bushfires. After a couple of weeks in Melbourne i started at St Kilda Beach, followed the Great dividing range and made it to the Tip. Afterwards i flew from Cairns to Hobart,Tasmania and hiked there around 300km.
I could tell so many more stories, but i did not take any pictures or clips at the time i was enjoying the company of new friends. I‘m glad about every encounter i had before, along and after the trail.
Thanks sooo much again to all the people i met!!
I would not recommend to cross the country, if you just do it for the trail, but if you want to explore a gnarly backcountry and meet some of the loveliest people on earth…Do it!
Happy Hiking all!
Peace,
Teddy
Ps: Stay tuned for my next adventure…
