Dates: Inquire for specific dates.
Description:
This course takes you to Western Australia which is adored for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate, and white sandy beaches. It is a land blessed with some of the world's most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range, and the towering karri forests of the Southwest. Perth, the capital city of the State, is home to 1.38 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Sophisticated yet uncomplicated, the lifestyle in Western Australia is a relaxed one. While on this program, you will have the opportunity to go on field trips to places of cultural significance during one of the most important of the Nyungar culture's six seasons when the rains signal the cleansing of the land, river and ocean. Along the way you will engage in comparisons of colonial and indigenous discourse, perspectives, and reflection.
