walkabout noun
walk·about | \ ˈwȯ-kə-ˌbau̇t \
We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Country we are living and working on. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters, and thank them for protecting this coastline and its ecosystems since time immemorial. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
A walkabout historically was a rite of passage for Aboriginal boys to journey of self discovery into the wilderness and the expedition brought upon the spiritual transition into manhood. Now this can mean a temporary journey as a break from modern culture to return to the traditional Aboriginal way of life.
Walkabout Films respectfully embraces this moniker and honours its spiritual connotations to the land we inhabit and the way of life of Australia's indigenous culture.
