A four day kayaking adventure to work
Following two rivers, one drain, one sea and one creek, it turns out that paddling to work, which ends up being mostly a drag, over four full days, is bloody hard work. After a stripped back walk to work (The Commute: walking 90km to work), I decided to continue experimenting between the lands and seas of home and work. This time by paddling. At least, that was the plan; following two rivers, a canal, the sea, and a creek all the way to my desk. What usually takes 75 minutes by car took four full days of mostly dragging, burning over 18, 000 calories. Sleeping by the river, under a train line and next to a boat ramp, the final drag through the suburbs was a full watershed transect, which is an intimate view into all the goods and bads of humanity including myself. What was another commuting stunt turned out to be the hardest, most insightful four days of travel Ive ever done. Produced and Directed by BEAU MILES Produced and Edited by MITCH DRUMMOND Filmed by
