Mildura Campus

Laura Rowett

I am not what you would call a savvy camper or an avid hiker. I had never even owned hiking boots until 2 months ago. And when I found out that this photography course included a camping trip I was not exactly thrilled — but I was determined to make it through. I never expected to have the best two weeks of my life or to meet people that mean so much to me today. Being in the outback, building a visual diary of the landscape was the best.

Half the fun was in the journey itself. I will never forget the adventurous bus rides with Peter Peterson or the sweet smell the mandarin oranges at all hours of the day. I will take the lessons I learned on that journey and in the photography course home with me — so that I can spread the love I have for the outback with the people I love back home.

Neil, Kristian, Peter and Peter: I will never forget our travles in the outback. Not as long as I have photographic evidence.
