Across a Continent on Foot | Mark Gresser’s 6,000km Trek 4 Youth Mental Health


Listen Later

In this episode I’m joined by adventurer Mark Gresser, who is currently in the midst of a huge journey: walking solo across Australia from Steep Point in Western Australia to Cape Byron in the east,  a distance of more than 6,000 kilometres.

Alogn with being a huge physical challenge, Mark is undertaking this expedition to raise awareness and support for youth mental health, partnering with the Australian organisation Batyr to encourage young people to speak up and seek help. 

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • The moment Mark decided to attempt this massive walk
  • Mark's own mental health journey and experiences
  • How he physically and mentally prepared for the journey
  • What life really looks like walking alone through remote Australia
  • The set up of his walking cart which fully loaded can weigh up to 175kgs
  • The powerful purpose behind Trek 4 Youth Mental Health
