Inspired: Michael Kozok, unmotorised Australia crossing

Tuesday 5 November from 6:30pm to 9pm

Cost

Adult: $10Child: $0

14 months and 14,400 km of adventure - on foot, running and sailing, with a wheelbarrow, desert and shopping cart, on a bike, scooter, skateboard, roller skates, roller skis, stilts, windsurfing and SUP, in a kayak, spring shoes and snowshoes, whatever as long there is no engine.

Hot deserts full of hunger and fear, dingo and snake attacks, accidents, spinifex, snowstorms and blizzards, humid jungle and river crossings with crocodiles. On the other hand, silence, beautiful nature, wild animals, sunrises, loneliness, peace, wonderful people. Australia at its best.

Michael Kozok, Polish adventurerer who visited over 1`50 countries and finally settled down in Sydney. Traveling by hitchhiking and public transport from one extreme end to the opposite one on all inhabited continents, discovers the beauty of slow exploring the world without using a car. In 2013 he unmotorised crossed South America, and in 2023 Australia.

The Inspire Adventure Series is a regular monthly event aiming to get you inspired by presenter/s who will be sharing his/her/their outdoor adventures through multimedia slide show. Besides watching the presentation and Q&A, there will be a time to connect, chat, exchange ideas, motivate each other, and maybe even to find a partner for your next adventure?

If you have a chance, please bring children and teenagers, we'd love showing them too!

Paddy Pallin is planning to deliver nine sessions in 2024 on every first Tue of each month up to November.

Paddy Pallin will provide some snacks and drinks for the evening, please bring your own food if you have any dietary requirements. You are also welcome to BYO drinks including liquor.
