In a week time I'll be living on a cattle station in Fitzroy Crossing.
A break from city life and coffees.
Excited? Yes. Nervous? Yes.
I have this vision that it is gonna be the adventure of my life. Hunting for Barramundi, catching Iguanas and learning a new language...
Learning about Aboriginal culture from the locals is more that I could ever have asked for.
The students have tried to explain family trees, languages, the law and their history, but it is so hard to comprehend the complexity of their systems. Living there will hopefully give me an broader understanding (not sure if I have any) about the Aboriginal culture.
The program is
to establish a new framework for cross-cultural learning and the
development of intercultural competence among students and adults from
different backgrounds.
These are some photos where we will be living.

Many Cultures One Community
There is a lot to organise before departure, so packing
and preparing is on the top of the list. Socialising as much as I can..
The thought of living without phone, social network, TV, supermarket,
cafes, bars, friends is exciting but scary.
All the things I am gonna
miss out on.
I most likely don't realise what it is like before I am
living there...
The plan is to have this blog where I can show photos and
write stories about everyday life from the cattle station..
So welcome
and I hope I can share some great experiences from the outback.
