TRUE SURVIVORS OF THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK n July 10th, two young Americans were stranded on the heavily populated island of Australia. Forced to survive in many harsh conditions, these brave souls traveled by bus, plane, and foot through the rainforests, coral reefs, and outback desert of some of the most challenging terrain in the world. This is a true story...no cameras, no scripts, no actors, and unfortunately, no million dollars. Living out of a backpack, encountering crazed natives, and garnering nourishment from nothing but peanut butter and jelly, the journey was truly an epic challenge. Seven months, no regrets, no looking back...
