Regular updates on the established BlueDome Expedition Web site. The freelance travel reporter Matthew Brace has guaranteed his support - and has agreed to travel to Australia, meeting us on route to write articles to be placed in the nationals e.g. The Independent, and some travel magazines. There has been initial interest shown by several documentary companies. A logistics person will be left in Britain there will also be someone working full time to look after any potential PR opportunity during the expedition targeting the above outlets. Media to confirm prior
to departure in both UK and Australia; Adelaide - Start of the Walk Initial discussions have been made with ABC TV in Adelaide for the use of a study equipped with ISDN for Live interviews between Australia and Great Britain. This will allow approaches to be made to the entire major national and international TV and Radio Channels, along with some of the local stations. There will be appearances and interviews set up for the local and National Press TV and Radio, of Australia. In order to increase the media appeal for the beginning of the walk, we are arranging for one of our patrons to be there to see us off, and perhaps have a small group of walkers that will walk to the edge of the town. Birdsville-half way point This will be the halfway point and will be a good opportunity to rekindle the interest in the expedition. We will have walked through some of the most barren deserts in the world by then, having some great footage, pictures and sound bites for radio. With many stories and different angles to these stories we will undoubtedly attract media support. It will be here that we invite our strong supporters from the UK to research promised articles. Darwin and the end of the walk. Although by Birdsville we will have crossed some of the most dangerous parts of the worldís surface, there are still lots in store on the way to Darwin. Racing against time before the rains begin avoiding the crocks, and still battling with the reluctance of our own bodies to carry on. As with Adelaide initial
discussions have been made with ABC TV to
set up an ISDN line in order that live interviews
may be conducted between Australia and UK,
for radio and TV. On our Return Photo Opportunities MEDIA - coverage
