I've recently been on a trip to Kellerberrin, a couple of hundred kilometres out of Perth. Had to film a documentary for Community Arts Network of WA. It was such a rewarding experience, travelling on the bus with the Solomon Island men, and understanding a completely different culture. Words can barely describe how I felt, and still feel, about the trip I had and the things I saw and learnt.
Who knew I would have the chance to meet people who live with no electricity, shoes, cars and technology, people who have to hunt for their food and trade with "shell money". They are the most down to earth people I have ever met. They don't say much, but they sure made me laugh a lot, and still smile at the time we spent.
They are currently on tour in Australia, raising funds to build a culture house in Solomon Islands. I think it's absolutely amazing how they took that step to embrace our society, and to share with us a part of their life. I wish everyone could have experienced what I did.
Like I said, words will do no justice to the trip I had, and how these guys are. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
