After years of adventuring around the globe - running kayaking hitchhiking exploring - Beau Miles came back to his block in country Victoria. Staying put for the first time in years Beau developed a new kind of lifestyle as the Backyard Adventurer. Whether it was walking 90km to work with no provisions building a canoe paddle out of scavenged scrap or running a disused railway line through properties blackberry thickets and past inquiring police officers Beau has been finding ways to satisfy his adventurous spirit close to home.

This book is about conscious experimentation with adventure making meaning and inspiration out of tins of beans bits of rubbish and elbow grease. Beau's Backyard exploits are funny authentic insightful and being copied all over the world.

YouTuber new dad and self-described oddball who needs to shower more Beau is what happens when you cross Bear Grylls with Bush Tucker Man. With a PhD in Outdoor Education a string of successful short films under his belt and a boundless passion for discovery Beau is the real deal.
