Bad River: Running the oldest river on Earth

Adventurer Beau Miles runs the dry bed of Earth’s oldest river to witness firsthand the devastating realities of climate change reshaping the Australian outback.

Adventurer Beau Miles runs the first 100km of the world’s oldest river. This is not a bad river, but the world is warming up and the temperatures in the Australian outback are about to get hotter than any time in history. The river is on the brink of a new era, and the best way to think about the epic change underfoot, is by running the dry river bed.
