Titres dans Australie et Océanie

Juin-juillet-août 2023. Traverser pendant trois mois le Grand Désert Victoria et le désert de Gibson dans l’Outback australien : voici le nouveau défi de Sarah Marquis, qui nous emmène dans un monde où il faut savoir décrypter les signes que nous envoie la nature et qui entre en résonance avec notre propre histoire. Qualifiée de " folie " par les locaux, au vu de l’isolement, du manque d’eau et de nourriture des territoires qu’elle va parcourir, cette nouvelle expédition à laquelle l’exploratrice s’était minutieusement préparée prend un tout autre tournant lorsque peu de temps avant son départ sa mère décède subitement.

He travels for almost a year through the 18 countries that border the world's largest ocean, and is forced to negotiate mountains, plunging gorges, cross glaciers and dodge icebergs. Volcanoes also mark Palin's journey. He climbs one which has freshly erupted and follows great rivers like the Yangtze and the Amazon to some of the most remote places on earth.

This charming account of the voyage of two men in a small boat half way round the world from Plymouth to New Zealand in 1953 is a rare insight into a time, not long ago, when sailors had no GPS, electronics, radio or any of the mod cons that we take for granted today. Without lifejacket or a life raft, they 'just took what came along', hand steering all the way, navigating by sextant, hand-cranking their engine and using oil lamps for light at night and for navigation. Sailors will be staggered how primitive conditions were only a few decades ago, even though it was the norm at the time.

Australia is different - a vast island continent with distances so great that the capital of Western Australia is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney. The landscape embraces magnificent tropical rainforests and deserts the size of several European states; temperate areas that sustain a flourishing wine industry, making Australia the world's fourth largest wine exporter; and a 16,000-mile coastline of breathtaking beaches. Plus its unique fauna is testament to the country's down-underness.
