A colorful ribbon of tarmac
I am leaving tomorrow morning for a quick bush tucker trip in the outback with an Aboriginal man and another French girl. I shall be back Friday night.
Even though I am told that Aboriginal people are happy to share their knowledge, a great number of subjects related to their cultures are not to be passed on to everyone (man business, woman business, old people business as the saying goes) so I am not sure about what I will be allowed to share and even if I will have the freedom to take pictures. I will see what I can tell you when I return.
These Aboriginal cultures (there are many of them all over Australia) are very complex, which make them fascinating yet not easy to understand, and when I receive a little bit of that knowledge, it truly feels like I have found something precious. I am slowly rediscovering the process of learning.
I am currently reading this book called " Donald Thomson in Arnhem Land
In the meantime, I leave you with my favorite series so far!

When you drive for so many kilometers, your surroundings may have a tendency to look very much the same... But the subtle changes are everywhere.
This is my Stuart Highway, a 1500km colorful ribbon of tarmac.

The queen of corporate learning “rediscovering the process of learning” ? How ironic ! ;)

I’m the queen of the corporate bullshit – no learning curve, it’s in my DNA!

If someone had followed me for all those kilometers, they probably thought I was a freak jumping out of my car on the emergency lane, getting my camera to immortalise my feet… :-) But I am quite happy of the result, it is bringing back great memories!
