It took 4 years to cross the Australian continent from south to north (from the
north coast to the south coast) on foot supported by 7 camels. The 7000 kilometres
long march was the longest expedition in the Australian history. An adventure which was
dangerous from the very beginning. Bush fires, tornados, the worst rainfalls since 200
years, poisonous vegetables and animals and continues offences wild camel bulls boosted
the trip to a great fight for survival.
The journey to the unknown inner of a mystical and unsearchable country was an adventure which tells about the up's and down's of two humans. They overrode cognisant every boarder of the human being to show us a land which is almost unreachable for the human mind in a very exciting, interesting and straight way. Denis Katzer: "We have seen heaven and hell, psychological up's and down's. Sometimes we thought, that we will die. Maybe that was the reason that mother earth showed us her deep secrets. It was a time I never will forget, a time when eternity becomes reality. This apparently never ending march meant a great, barely describable challenge. It meant to live the moment. This is one of the highest feelings, the greatest present and the rarest goal, it means for me to inhale live every moment." With the crossing of dessert Sinai, the wild Pakistan, the dessert of the death in western China, the dessert Gobi in Mongolia and Australia both of them walked 12.000 kilometres and reached a world record.
