Australia has been awesome.  Here’s a quick recap of things I did/accomplished in one month.

1. visited a tiny town called Marble Bar to take pictures with ‘feral’ 5 year olds (lots of these kids seem to be missing on any oversight running around barefoot and unattended most of the day – ‘feral’ was an affectionate term one of the locals used to describe them)
2. did a cultural leaders workshop the first week in Newman
3. did media classes inside the primary and high schools
4. helped kids build a Wordpress site/Facebook Page
5. made short movies with kids using iPod Nanos
6. hiked in a beautiful, beautiful place called Karajini
7. met the local Martu Aboriginal people (they’ve lived here for nearly 40,000 years – the first white man they saw was in the 1960s)…
8. helped to coordinate a youth media festival – the kids even got on the national news!
9. learned 33 things that the young people of Newman can do

…and there’s more coming.  Awesome.
