Sarah Marquis, Explorer
In a classic Aboriginal walkabout, Sarah fished, foraged and gathered food from the wild.
In a classic Aboriginal walkabout, Swiss explorer Sarah Marquis fished, foraged and gathered food from the wild. She discusses her Australian odyssey with Steve Backshall 鈥� himself a world-class adventurer.
In 2015, Sarah spent three months walking across the Kimberley region of Western Australia. In the first few weeks she lost 12 kilos, and realised that she had to prioritise eating over anything else. This was until she struggled to find fresh water and her sense of hunger disappeared as she coped with the severe discomfort of thirst.
Sarah was alone until the last week when she was joined by Krystle Wright, a photographer sent to record her adventure. Krystle describes Sarah鈥檚 suspicion of her and the frustration of watching her eat the food she had brought along.
