Afternoon tea with Australian legend of adventure, Jon Muir, in Sydney
The Adventurists, creators of the infamous Mongol Rally, and Hendrick's Gin have teamed up to bring a quintessentially British occasion to Sydney – Afternoon Tea with legend of adventure, Jon Muir - one of Australia’s greatest adventurers – as headline speaker.
Jon Muir will share his esteemed tales of exploration and adventure on the 12th of November at the Justice & Police Museum in Sydney. Doors to this spiffing event will open at 5pm and the adventuresome revelry will continue until 9pm.
Jon’s illustrious adventuring career is littered with ‘firsts’. He made the first Sherpa-less ascent of Everest from the South, initiated a new route to the South Pole and was the first person ever to walk solo and unsupported across Australia. The latter odyssey, which he dubbed, The Great Mission, was an epic 128-day, 2500km journey, every day of which Jon describes as being harder than summiting Everest. During the journey Jon survived on bush tucker and lost 30 per cent of his body-weight.
Quite apart from these incredible firsts, Jon has also walked unsupported to the North Pole, kayaked 5000km through shark and crocodile infested waters, walked solo to Australia’s Geographic Centre, self-filmed numerous documentaries and penned a book, ‘Alone across Australia’, about his Very Long Walk.
Adventurer, quaffers, inquisitive individuals and lovers of all things eccentric won’t want to miss out on this event and the chance to meet fellow-minded adventurers over a gin and tonic accompanied by a cake or cucumber sandwich.
