In May 1985 six young Jesus Christians successfully walked 1,000 miles from Port Augusta to Norseman without taking any food, water, additional clothing or a support vehicle claiming that God would provide their needs. The youngest walker was 12-year-old Rachel Sukamaran from India. In response to critics claiming the walkers were "testing God" Christine Mckay, the 15-year-old spokesperson for the group, said "Anyway, we weren't testing God, he was testing us". The two-month-long walk was extensively covered by national and some international media and a book was published using their diaries from the walk.
