Outback Australia Show and Tell

This presentation on Outback Australia is the next in our series of online presentations during Victoria's lockdown #6. The presentations to be shown include: photos of Soldiers in the Outback; photos and stories from a Nomads trip to the Broken Heel Festival and Outback NSW in 2018; Travelling 1800 km on the Canning Stock Route; and Rock collecting and measurements in the Outback. Attendees are also invited to share photos and stories of their own Outback adventures.

GRADE: Social - online presentation via Zoom. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

• The Soldiers in the Outback presentation will be from John Tr, an ex-army officer, documenting a trip across the Outback in 1977 when he was aged 27 (and the soldiers under his command were mainly 19 or 20 year olds). Beware: Some of the soldiers are shirtless!
• The Nomads camping trip to Outback NSW in September 2018 included attending the Broken Heel Festival and visiting Silverton, Mungo National Park, Mutawinji National Park, White Cliffs (an opal mining town, where we stayed in an underground hotel) and much more.
• The Travelling 1800 km on the Canning Stock Route presentation from Roger H. will provide some history, outline the logistics to help you do it yourself, and show some pics to give an idea what it is like.
• The Rock collecting and measurements in the Outback presentation from Robert H. will include photos/short video on doing geological / geophysical field work from the Great Victoria Desert to the Darling Downs.

In addition to the above presentations, attendees are invited to share mementos of their own travels in Outback Australia - photos, videos, stories - anything you think might be of interest to other attendees. Try to keep these "show and tell" sessions relatively short - between 5 and 10 minutes per theme - there should be opportunities for you to present multiple sessions if you wish. The use of Zoom lends itself extremely well to this type of presentation - you can either share your own computer screen with the attendees (you will be instructed how to do that if you've never done it before), or you can email newsletter@nomads.org.au to organise having us display the materials for you, leaving you free to explain them. If you plan to present some materials on the night, it would be helpful if you sent a quick note to newsletter@nomads.org.au to help with planning the night.
