The Backyard Adventurer is about conscious experimentation with adventure, filled with new ideas on experimental learning, making meaning and inspiration out of tins of beans, bits of rubbish and elbow grease. This is one man's unique take on the world, how to go about life, and redefines and challenges what it means to go adventuring.

About the Author

You may have heard of Beau before for the challenges he's set himself like walking 90km to work. He makes videos of his adventures doing things the rest of us wouldn't, like when he attempted to paddle around from one side of Africa to the other; when he ran over 650km of the Australian Alpine Walking Track; and going around collecting scrap wood to make his own junk paddle (good to know in case you get stuck up a creek).
