Mildura Campus

Charlie Phillips

I still cannot believe that I am in Australia! Ever since I was six years old I have always wanted to be here. My dream has come true! These last two weeks have been absolutely amazing. From arriving in Mildura on the 7th of July until today I have fallen in love with this country and its people. From their generous hospitality to their laissez-faire way of life has been truly welcoming and easily adaptable. My whole view on life and the way I approach it has been changed, in a good way of course.

Since my arrival in Australia, I was looking forward to living and interacting with a group of twenty girls and guys. Upon arrival, in actuality I have been living with twenty girls with me as the only guy. Not too bad at all.

While on this trip, I have learned how to use and develop black and white film along with regular digital as well. This experience has defiantly opened up my eyes to so many different possibilities with my abilities as a photographer. I have seen many things in my day and by far, this trip, this land known as Australia has truly reached the top of the list for sure. I have made some really great friends and so lucky and glad to have met them. I hope that all students, whether you are a photography major or not to come to Australia and experience all the adventures and good times that I have experienced.
