Aboriginal Art, found in Australia, expresses the journey and tracks of the traveller through various designs of dots. My journey half way across the world has impacted my personal growth in more than one direction.

Words cannot express the intensity of the pure blue and red landscape, hiking along the outback, processing of the darkroom, richness in the starry night sky, and not to mention the taste of a kangaroo! My creativity was driven the most by everything Mungo had to offer. Every perspective captured the texture of miles and miles of rhythmic sand dunes. Once the sunset hit the horizon line, a sense of blissful happiness took over everyone including myself. It was a wonder of the world in my opinion. And even once the sun did set, the balance of repetition and scales were still there yet only in an amazingly new tone! I do agree with Professor Glover stating, "Mungo is a pearl in the landscape."

By participating in La Trobe's Edge of the Outback photography program, I feel it has enriched my eduction inside and outside of the classroom. I have even learned more about myself through my classmates. We all were from different universities around the states, but we all were equally mad for Australian adventure! From the life lessons of our personal Aboriginal guide to the knowledge of the arts given by a hand full of La Trobe educators; the journey is the destination.
