Here in Australia, during the 80's, 90's before widespread internet. There would be several European's who needed rescuing each year as they decided to try and walk between major cities, because it looks close on a map.

I remember one German guy who needed rescuing while trying to walk from Sydney to Adelaide...that's 1200km away...in a straight line.

Joke’s on him for wanting to go to Adelaide, honestly.

And remember, never go to Adelaide. It's a hole (Not the Sunscreen Song)

Also in Europe if you get hungry you can pick mushrooms, skin a boar, or pop in to a town. In Australia you got... witchetty grub

Lmao just looked on a map, and it's quite easy to see that that distance is comparable to walking from Great Yarmouth to St Davids.... twice
