Summary:
It’s 6pm and the local shops have just closed their doors. While customers are packing away their newly purchase goods, a new type of consumer is making their way out into the night heading not for the front entrance, but to the ally ways behind. Meet the dumpster diver… Join us on our adventure to the heart of this culture with long term devotes Michael and Paul as your tour guides on their waste fuelled journey down the east coast of Australia. Along on the trip they bring with them Nick from Scotland who’s in for the thrill, Sofia an international student from Sweden who wants to see more of Australia and Krystal who needs to get out of Brisbane. The three new apprentices have never been dumpster diving before and they have no idea what to expect. With no money, no food, and using only waste vegetable oil as fuel they plan to drive 2000 km in 7 days living on nothing but societies excess. For the least experienced of the team, will their first dive into dumpster living be remembered as the dawn of a new age or the holiday from hell? Far from the basic comforts of home, faced with the uncertainty of not knowing when and where their next meal will come from, they can only hope for fun times ahead.
