Clift's journey began in the bustling city of Perth, Western Australia. From there, he traversed the remote and rugged outback of the Nullarbor Plain, the lush green forests of Tasmania, the snow-capped peaks of the Snowy Mountains, and the arid deserts of the Northern Territory. Along the way, he faced extreme heat, cold, hunger, and thirst, as well as the challenges of navigating through unforgiving terrain and avoiding dangerous wildlife.

But Clift's journey was not just a physical challenge. It was also a journey of self-discovery and a deep connection with the Australian landscape. As he walked, he encountered a diverse range of people, from friendly locals to fellow travelers, all of whom shared their stories and helped him along his way.

In Walk Across Australia, Clift shares his raw and honest account of his journey, capturing the beauty and brutality of the Australian landscape, the challenges he faced, and the people he met along the way. It is a story of courage, endurance, and the power of the human spirit.

From the Author

"I've always been drawn to the challenge of long-distance walking," says Clift. "But crossing Australia solo and unsupported was a whole new level. It was a journey that tested me to my limits, but it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life."

"I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and pursue their own dreams. I want to show people that anything is possible if you have the courage to go for it."
