An asylum seeker's journey between countries can be long and harrowing.
Countries in Africa, Europe and Asia have many land borders. This means that people can walk or drive to a neighbouring country. Sometimes borders are made by rivers or mountains ranges. Rivers and/ or mountain ranges often create a natural border. Australia, unlike many other countries, has no land borders. Oceans surround the country.
In many places throughout the world people are able to cross a border without help from anyone else, sometimes even without documentation (such as a passport). In some places people need help with transport to cross borders.
If people seeking refuge are intercepted they may be forced to return to their homeland.
