Australian Geographic
Australian Geographic have been a wonderful supporter of several previous journeys, including a 50 day traverse of Tasmania by foot, and the east coast paddle. Flying back to Tasmania from Thursday Island in late September 2006, I stopped in Sydney for a few days. By chance I stumbled across the Australian Geographic 20th Anniversary Awards ceremony. Spot the blow in!
UTAS Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology
UTAS SET were also supporters of the 2006 expedition and it is great to have them along again. I spent three years in the faculty getting a science degree. Looking back now it's where I gained many of the skills that help me on long journeys. You never know when you'll need to differentiate between granite and basalt.
I'd also like to extend a special thanks to the following people or businesses. They have gone above and beyond the call to provide logistical, financial or some other kind of support.
