Two Brothers; 500km of Coastline; One Lap of the Island
How is this for an Adventure?
Two brothers, Tom (25) and Jake (18) Giles completed a circum-navigation (or perhaps a circum-terragation) of Kangaroo Island by foot during April and May 2009. Their 500km trek - mainly following the coast - took them across cliff-tops, through secluded valleys and coves, over remote windswept beaches and past spectacular rock formations.It is the first time a complete 'circum-terragation' of KI by foot has been completed in one go. Tom & Jake lived mainly off the land and sea and undertook extensive research into the edible fish and plant life on and around Kangaroo Island. Read their list here.
The trek helped to raise awareness of Spinal Cord Injury and PARAQUAD SA. PARAQUAD SA is a not for profit community organisation committed to serving and promoting the best interests of people with disabilities in a manner which recognises their worth and dignity, their right to experience life's events and develop their full potential.
