Kayak

Murray River, Australia (Source to Sea)
October 1st - December 19th 2009
Distance: 1479 miles
 
Between October 6th and December 19th 2009 Dave travelled the length of Australia's Murray River on foot and by kayak, documenting the human, environmental and climatic factors contributing to the decline in health of this once mighty river.

From the river's early moments high in the Australian Alps, Dave struggled through heavy blizzards and deep snow before finally settling into his kayak for the final 2350km. Passing along the border of New South Wales and Victoria, the Murray eventually enters South Australia and takes a southerly route to the sea for its final 500km.

Dave is currently writing a book and producing a film about his journey, with the intention of creating a revealing insight into the life of a great river, and the perils it now faces.
