My Event
So what’s this expedition about?
In August 2011 a team of 6 adventurers plan to cross Australia from Melbourne to the North Coast following the Burke and Wills historic route ‘1791 miles’.
Two of the team will be flying their Paramotors to access areas on route that have never been filmed by ground or air. Supported by a ground crew of 4 and a ground camera team, we will produce a documentary of the expedition highlighting the original Burke and Wills Route. We will capture our adventure using top of the range HD (POV) cameras with stunning low level and aerial footage, you have to see to believe.
A DVD will be produced of the adventure which when a copy is sold, 10% will be donated to our chosen charity ‘Global Angels’ as well as 1000 free copies for educational establishments interested in the study of Burke and Wills, which will help raise awareness of this epic and tragic story and help to keep it alive.
As well as the inaccessible areas (by any other means than a Paramotor), we will visit all of the famous waypoints from the original route like Cooper’s Creek, Broken Hill, and of course the Dig Tree its self.
To cross this route is going to be very dangerous and is a full-on expedition on it’s own, many have tried and failed. But none have tried with a Paramotor which can add a further element of danger and excitement to the trip, but also offers a greater chance of success while also capturing footage from an amazing vantage point.
Please take a look through our site and please support our expedition and link us to your facebook & Twitter page.
Fundraising has finished for my event, thankyou for your support.
