She had never kayaked in her life, but decided she was going to solo kayak the 400km Clarence River. Unassisted. And she did.
A 2 year preparation, in May 2017 she was the first person to solo kayak the Clarence River. Some stretches of the river said to be "un-passable".
We talk about the preparation and what it took to become not only physically and mentally fit but how to be fully self reliant. She learnt bush survival, navigation, how to hunt and trap, how to forage, and learn the medicinal uses of plants. Honing her skills with a healthy respect for the land, river, local communities and her family.
This 14 day journey had setbacks right from the beginning but Hayley's thought process, rationalisation and pure drive to accomplish this massive task is not only inspiring, it truly lifts the veil on all things "impossible", because as she found out on her journey, there are no ceilings.
