A biodiesel-fueled jeep, a 2000-km route between Brisbane and Melbourne in 7 days, with 5 travellers meeting for the first time to undertake what appears to be just another coastal drive, were it not for the unconventional way the crew decide to stock provisions: dumpster diving, or scavenging for edible food from dumpsters as a new form of resistance against consumerism and waste. Without a penny in their pocket but with loads of energy to have fun, will our heroes make it to the finish line? Michael Canavagh and Kerstin Ubelacker accompany them on their improbable adventure.
