"I expected to see a "different Australia" from what I saw with my family a few years back, and I did! I discovered a lot more about Native Australian Aborigines especially, it feels good when I know the veil of commercialised image of aborigines has been lifted, and I have also become more aware of the rich diversities of cultures in the world.
I find the most important thing I took back, the lesson of humility. I used to think everything would be different, now I know that it is not so simple. Reality has hit me hard. My internal struggle throughout the trip took me a long time to sort out and reconcile with. Now I know, I am weak when I think I am strong, I am weak when my strength does not lie within but without, and that only God will make all things new."
