About - Beau Miles
Beau began his overseas traveling whilst studying WW2 history in the Middle East at age 17. Every year since, he has extensively travelled the world, taking him through a range of adventures, studies and environments.
His first attempt at filmmaking was a solo walk to Mt. Everest. In winter, he walked the old expedition route of the early mountaineers. Sick with fatigue, he celebrated his 20th birthday alone, illegally on a flank of Everest at 18,000 feet.
Whilst studying in Canada, Beau and two Norwegians climbed several volcano peaks, filming the trips as part of Beaus degrees in Adventure education and Geography.
Beau first commercial film project ‘The Green Paddle’ (solo circumnavigating three major island chains in South and Western Australia) has toured both Australia and the U.S, having showed to hundreds of audiences ranging from primary schools, keynote address’s, coffee shops, major symposiums, cinema-chains and the Australian Geographic Society.
The short version of this showed on Fox Sports Fuel during 2005 and has both won and showed at film festivals all over the world. When not working for Monash University in Australia, teaching and lecturing in Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation studies, Beau divides his time between filmmaking, building projects and freelance writing and photography.
In 2007, Beau attempted to paddle a kayak from one side of Africa to the other. Hand in hand as filmmaking and expedition project, a state-of-the-art, HD camera was mounted to the bow of his 15 foot kayak. The journey would follow the coastline for over 4000 kilometers, through 3 diverse, often volatile countries. Mostly solo and unsupported, Beau had allowed five months. That was the plan. He didn’t make it- not all the way. Ensuing documentary 'Africa by Kayak' showed on the Outside TV network in the U.S throughout 2010. In March 2011 Beau turned his attention to the Australian Alps, where he was the first person to run the Australian Alps Walking Track. A true first, Beau ran the 680km+ trail in 14 days. The premiere walking track in the country has an elevation loss/gain of over 30,000, tracking the Great Dividing Range over the ACT, NSW and VIC alpine areas. Mid 2011 will see the film of his AAWT journey released
