Mark Gresser is a zoologist, adventurer, and passionate advocate for youth mental health. In July, Mark set off on an extraordinary journey – walking more than 5,300 kilometres solo and self-supported across Australia. Starting at Steep Point in Western Australia (the mainland’s most westerly point), he is making his way through the country’s red centre, via Uluru and Australia’s geographical centre, before finishing at Cape Byron in New South Wales – our most easterly point.

Matt Bern tracked him down for a chat!
