Today we went to Charles Sturt University and had a presentation by Nick Klump, the Head of Environmental Science and Technology. The entire campus is made from recycled products, and environmentally run. It gave us a good overview of how Australia is developing environmental programs. Then we went to a presentation given by an Aboriginal Educator named Brendon Kennedy, at The Gateway Educational Center, Wodonga, in the State of Victoria over the famous Murray River. He gave us a very detailed overview of how the Aboriginal tribes lived, and made their tools. We also practiced throwing spears and making tools from rocks. We then finished up with a famous art exhibit from Eddie Kneebone - who painted a series of 33 canvases depicting the Aboriginal plight with the early settlers. Off to an Asian noodle shop for dinner.
