Mildura Campus

Michelle Matkins

In a word, I was searching for inspiration. From the moment I saw the course title, I knew this course was for me. Initially, I couldn't see how it would be possible for me to attend, but a series of events and circumstances conspired to make it so. That sense of serendipity carried through the entire experience.

I marvel at how much I really have learned in such a short period of time, about myself and Australia, and how inspired I feel to use these new tools and explore more. It's been an incredibly creative and diverse environment in which to learn. The overall experience has completely exceeded my expectations.

Probably my favourite part of the course has been the people I've been so fortunate to meet along the way: faculty, students, the people of Mildura and all the places we visited.

The serendipity in a particular choice is not always clear at the moment one makes a decision. It is sometimes only in retrospect that we see with clarity how the universe conspires to bring our wishes to fruition. It was the perfect mix of an introduction to Australian culture, the exquisite landscape and photography for me. I leave here inspired to continue to explore and with gratitude for having had such a fantastic opportunity.
