2011 Lake Mungo Immersion

"I come from the Dreaming
I come from the land
My spirit and being make up who I am
My Grandmother said, Little One your place is Mungo, Mutthi Mutthi Woman"
A week spent travelling the history, the journeys and the stories of this country with Mutthi Mutthi woman Vicki Walker Clark and her family, opened my eyes to the connection that exists between us all, aboriginal and non-aboriginal Australians.
Time spent around campfires with guitars, under skies filled with stars and on endless sand dunes, the Lake Mungo Immersion allowed us the time and the space to connect with the first people of this country and with the land we so often forget to embrace. Hearing stories from Vicki¹s aunties and uncles, allowed us an opportunity to breathe in history and to be confronted with the injustices that are still faced
by aboriginal people today.
Lake Mungo was an experience which left us examining who we are and where we come from, while simultaneously highlighting the relationship between all of us as Australian people.
