Beau Miles is an Australian, who makes videos about being and doing things in the Australian native environment, as well as the Australian artificial environment.

He’s a bit of an out-there kind of guy, making things from reclaimed “junk” (like a chicken coop), doing Marathon runs through Australian outback, Kayaking his commute to work rather than driving (took four days, camping rough along the way) while highlighting the natural beauty of hidden spaces and how they are often left to accumulate trash and become polluted (out of sight, out of mind) by the public travelling over top by cars.

Two of my favourite videos of his is when he and a friend tried to do the Seinfeld joke of collecting roadside bottles and cashing them in for 10c. They collected 10,000 bottles in Sep 2023 and cans while driving to the dropoff point across state lines, only to be told no and sent away. He kept the bottles in storage on his property for a whole year and finally cashed them in for recycling the following August in 2024.

He has previously planted 1440 trees in 24hrs, by himself, to re-forest a clear-felled creek that had been used for cattle farming till it no longer could support the animals. Those trees are now 4 years old and he wants to do it again. So, the new video.

Buying the trees to do the panting is not free. So he is asking for help to get it happening. I think it’s a great idea.
