One year around Australia

with the kids

MEET the family who did the big lap of Australia. A French woman, her husband from New Zealand and their two girls, Natasha (12) and Yasmine (8) embarked on a one year trip around the Australian continent in their new home, a double decker bus on 10 wheels. They left behind their routine life in Sydney where they settled in 2000 to tour the biggest island of the world.

Isabelle: it is best to be well prepared and we had one whole year to do so. We started doing a lot of research to find a suitable motorhome. The plan was to finish the renovation of our house and sell it to finance our trip. I bought books and maps and made a rough plan of the itinerary and set up a website which ended up being in French and in English so both our families could follow our adventures. We enrolled the girls in the Sydney Distance Education School, which is entirely free by the way and available to all Australian residents for one year. Our eldest daughter was to start year six and we had made up our minds that it would be the last opportunity for us to travel and take the kids out of normal school. We found our dream motorhome, did a test drive in the outback of NSW for two weeks. We also got two motorbikes and last but not least, we started learning to fly a microlight following a crazy idea that seeing Australia from above would be really awesome. It is also very important to have a plan in place for when you return.

Isabelle: we arrived in Sydney in 2000 and I started immediately working full time at the French Embassy’s trade section while Shane was busy taking care of the girls and doing some property development projects in Brisbane. When we had holidays, we usually spent time either in France or in New Zealand to visit family and friends. We had little opportunity to visit Australia. It was always in the back of our minds that we would one day do the big lap. When my time at the embassy was up at the end of 2005, I decided to resign to make this dream possible and to stay on in Australia.

Shane: it did. We got the motorhome, travelled a few more times to Tumut to continue our Microlight training. I did some work on the bus to suit our needs better. We found the right motorbikes. I designed a trailer to fit all the“toys” and had it tailor made. We finished the renovation of the house just in time to sell it before we left. We then moved into the bus and were based at a Showground in Sydney’s Northern Beaches for a couple of weeks before our departure. We visited the Sydney Distance Education Primary School with the girls, met the teachers who explained how it all worked. The girls were very excited.

TEXT and IMAGES by I. Antonetti

WITH their Microlight licence just in hand, they started the big trip in January 2007 taking with them a Microlight plane, also called a trike, two motorbikes and four bicycles. The parents improvised as teachers for a year with the efficient help of the Sydney Distance Education Primary School.Interview with Isabelle and Shane.

TheTravelMag: did it all go according to plan?

2011

THE TRAVELMAG 19

We filled the water tanks -about 500 litres- once a week on average. Water was filtered for consumption. We learned to function with the bare minimum. If we could do it again with the kids, we would probably exchange the motorbikes for a small 4X4. As much as Isabelle and I enjoy riding motorbikes, having the girls on the back for long and hazardous rides on corrugated roads proved to be challenging.

Isabelle: the voyage started in Sydney. We travelled clockwise around Australia, following the coast on Highway One and finished the trip again in Sydney one year later. We travelled inland NSW to Canberra and Tumut where we obtained our Microlight licence and collected our trike. We also crossed the continent from the north to the centre. Tasmania is the only State we could not visit this time. Our favourite spot? We get this question all the time and it is the most difficult to answer. Australia is blessed with many very beautiful and contrasting landscapes and the beauty of a place can be enhanced or somewhat diminished by other factors like weather or an abundance of insects for example. But to try and give you an answer, the more rugged and isolated areas are an extraordinary experience. We really enjoyed the northern parts of Australia in WA and NT and loved Alice Spring and the Red Centre. Australia is beautiful almost everywhere with some rare exceptions. We did more than 36,000 kilometres without counting the numerous bike rides and walks! Plus a few miles with the trike!

Shane: camping is not exactly our cup of tea, so we decided to go for a spacious double-decker bus, fully equipped with bathroom and kitchen. We had plenty of space, that was fantastic. The freedom that comes with travelling in such a vehicle is priceless. The bus was autonomous with regards to electricity and water, which allowed us to stop wherever we liked and avoid expensive and noisy caravan parks. The whole family had to manage water and electricity consumption with great care.

TheTravelMag: since you mention the distance education, can you explain how it worked?

Isabelle: it is extremely well organised and efficient. We received the first month of work for each girl the day we visited the school, year 6 and year 3. Then we simply advised the school a week or so in advance in which town the next packages should be sent to and we would collect them at the poste restante. Each pack contains the work to be completed in all subjects normally taught at school for a fortnight. The parents get their explanation booklet. The students need to read a few books to complete the exercises in English. Some exercises were required to be answered orally and that was done with a cassette recorder. Once completed, we would send the packs back to school for correction. The teachers would record their comments on the tapes. A bit of planning was involved to figure out where we would be to collect the next lot of new work together with the corrections of previous weeks. We worked pretty hard. We had to follow the NSW calendar and the State’s holidays. The girls did not always like it and missed the interaction with other kids but it was really worth it. Natasha developed a passion for reading during our time on the roads.

TheTravelMag: what was your actual itinerary and what was/were your favourite spot(s)?

TheTravelMag: tell us more about the way you travelled and why you chose a bus rather than a camper trailer or other setup. Would you change anything?

TheTravelMag: What is it in such an experience that makes it so unforgettable?

Isabelle: it’s about the freedom to enjoy the outdoors, stay longer or leave as you please. It’s about meeting fantastic people along the way. It’s about discovering, learning and experiencing. We have been to many wonderful Museums and we have added culture to the landscape and places. It all comes together in the end. We were blessed with great weather all around the continent apart from one storm. We have not experienced anything worse than a spider bite, some minor mechanical problems and being bogged. The spirit of the outback is strong and unique. It’s imprinted in us.

Shane: no day resembles the next. It is highly satisfying. We have made some good friends on the road and discovered a whole new world. We all learned a lot about the Aboriginals, their culture and history, about the Australian fauna and flora. The girls cuddled dingoes and wallabies, saw goanas, eagles, crocodiles and much, much more... We discovered the desert. We were very active, bushwalking, riding our bikes or motorbikes on a daily basis. It was the best experience ever and a truly enriching one on all levels. We hope our story will inspire other families to embark on such a wonderful adventure!

ADVERTISINGAWARENESS CAMPAIGN

2011

This campaign commissioned by the UNHCR* is devised to educate the public on the main myths surrounding asylum seekers and refugees in the lead up to World Refugee Day.

The campaign comprises the following elements:

* a series of posters designed to inform and invite the audience to check the facts behind the myths. The posters display intentionally shocking titles to attract attention;

* a series of ten postcards with the facts explained behind the most common myths;

* the « Mythbuster box », a CD size carton box containing the above mentioned postcards that would be distributed in shopping malls by volunteers.

refugees take our jobs, which is balanced by the contradictory myth: refugees go on unemployment benefits.It is true that newly arrived refugees have higher unemployment rates than the community average. This is not unexpected. Amongst the refugee arrivals are people who have been tortured and deeply traumatised. This can interfere with employment. There are also a significant number of entrants whose qualifications are not recognised in Australia and they need time to make adjustments. There is also the issue of learning English. Refugees are entitled to 510 hours of free English language instruction which must be taken in the first 2 years - and it is beneficial that the entrants do this as they are unlikely to do this later. (PTO) >

The fact that refugees “come from behind” in the employment stakes highlights the need for specifically targeted intervention programs that recognise issues such as their trauma, their unrecognised qualifications and their lack of English. Targeted programs that do this have shown that they are very successful at placing refugees in the workforce. If we are to bring refugees to Australia (and it is Australia’s decision that we do so) it is important that we recognise their specific needs and address these. If we do this, we will reap the benefits. Most refugees want to work, both to restore their damaged sense of self esteem and to repay what they see as their debt of gratitude to Australia for providing them with protection.

Whether “refugees take our jobs” is the sort of question that has no easy answer. Refugees do compete for jobs but they are also consumers. Because they arrive with nothing they have to purchase household goods, clothing etc, all of which provides jobs for the people who make and sell these commodities.

On April 1984, we adopted a new national anthem. The second verse included the words:“For those who’ve come across the seas, We’ve boundless plains to share.” I think we meant it then. Do we mean it now?Julian Burnside

In the 2009-10 financial year, Australia provided just 13,770 places in total for refugee and humanitarian entrants to Australia. This figure includes all people who were granted a visa onshore and offshore and arrived by both air and sea. This number has virtually remained the same (hovering between 11000-14000 grants per year) since the mid-1980s.

In 2009 the Department of Immigration granted 4,338,427 permanent and temporary visas. Refugees and humanitarian entrants made up just 0.31% of all visas granted for the year. In 2009, Australia received 6170 asylum applications, just 1.6% of the 377,160 applications received across 44 industrialised nations.

There were 20 industrialised countries who received more asylum seekers than Australia based on a per capita basis in 2009.

The number of boat arrivals can be mostly attributed to “push factors” in host countries, i.e. events like war and political unrest which drive asylum seekers from their homes. This is evidence by the fact that Australia’s boat arrival numbers correlate with broader global asylum seeker trends.

Australia received only 6.9% of all the world’s Afghan asylum seekers in the first 6 months of 2010 (867 of 12,654).Australia hosts only a fraction of the 2.8 million Afghan refugees globally. 96% of Afghan refugees are located in Pakistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran alone.

Because Australia is the most generous country to accept refugees, they now flood our shores.

Australia is one of the most difficult countries in the world to get to. We have no common borders and there are universal visa requirements and carrier sanctions. Because of this it is highly unlikely that we will ever see the large numbers of asylum seekers other countries experience.

This year, we will receive just 0.03% of the world’s refugees and displaced people. That is 13,750 of the 43.3 million refugees and displaced people in the world. (PTO) >

The challenge for Australia is to assist newly arrived refugees to process the experiences of their past and rebuild their lives in Australia. If we do this we will reap the benefits of the qualities and experiences they bring to Australia.

Refugees have been coming to Australia since early 19th century. They are our neighbours, co-workers and friends. They contribute to our economy, social development and cultural diversity, reinforce our humanitarian values and provide a connection to other parts of the world. This website uses images and the spoken and written word to share the “Australian stories” of refugees who came to Australia from different parts of the world, at different times in history and have made this country their home.

http://www.ras.unimelb.edu.au/Refugees_Australian_Stories

Refugees cannot possibly contribute anything to us.

It is a myth that all refugees are illiterate peasants. The majority that come to Australia are educated middle class people - whose education, profession or political opinions have drawn them to the attention of the authorities and resulted in their persecution.

By definition refugees are survivors. They have survived because they have the courage, ingenuity and creativity to have done so. These are qualities which we value in Australia. (PTO)>

A Kununurra, nous n’hésitons pas à louer le dernier 4X4 disponible pour explorer les sublimes gorges d’El Questro, une ferme ouverte au public de plus de 400.000 hectares. Les paysages sont spectaculaires avec des chaînes montagneuses, des gorges remplies d’eau, des cascades, des bassins naturels, des sources d’eau chaude au milieu d’une végétation tropicale. Le 4X4 n’est pas un luxe ici.

El Questro Wilderness ParkA Fitzroy Crossing nous explorons la gorge Geikie avec ses façades en calcaire de trente mètres de haut sculptés par la rivière Fitzroy. C’est un endroit remarquable de tranquillité. A la saison des pluies toutefois, la rivière se transforme en un violent torrent qui engloutit tout le parc, les crues pouvant atteindre sept mètres de haut. Ici nous rencontrons par hasard nos nouveaux amis de la route rencontrés à Broome. Les filles sont ravies de profiter encore un peu de leurs nouvelles copines. Nous n’avons pas le même itinéraire mais nous tenterons de nous retrouver, peut-être en Territoire du Nord dans un mois ou deux. A Ngumban Cliff, notre camp pour la nuit, nous sommes époustouflés par la beauté des paysages. Nous y rencontrons un fermier et son fils, propriétaires de gigantesque fermes couvrant des superficies hallucinantes de Halls Creek au lac Argyle sans compter d’autres fermes dans le Queensland. Leur simplicité nous enchante, tout comme leurs histoires et anecdotes de la vie de fermier sur ce type de propriétés.

In Kununurra, we don’t hesitate to rent the last available 4X4 to explore the magnificent gorges of El Questro, a 400,000 ha. size farm open to the public. The landscape is spectacular with its ranges, gorges filled with water, cascades, natural water holes and hot springs in the midst of tropical vegetation. The 4X4 is no luxury here!

At Fitzroy Crossing we explore Geikie Gorge with its thirty metre high limestone walls sculpted by the Fitzroy river. It is a remarkably peaceful place. Each year during the rainy season though, the river is transformed into a raging torrent that swallows the whole park, the flood reaching up to seven metres high. Here, we pop into our new friends of the road that we met in Broome. The girls are happy to spend a bit more time with their new friends. We don’t have the same itinerary but we’ll try to meet again, maybe in the Northern Territory in a month or two. At Ngumban Cliff, our camp for the night, we are awestruck with the beauty of the landscape. We meet a farmer and his son, owners of gigantic farms stretching hallucinating distances, from Halls Creek to Lake Argyle, plus some more farms in Queensland. They enchant us with their simple ways and with their stories of farm life on this type of properties.

Bungle Bungle, Purnululu NP

57 58

We want to visit the Purnululu NP, listed World Heritage due to its scientific importance and exceptional beauty. Being unsuccessful in renting a 4X4 in Halls Creek, we decide to undertake the 160 kilometres in one day on motorbikes. Totally crazy! The tracks change without warning from gravel to soft sand, a true motocross circuit with river crossings, the girls in the back. Tourists in their 4X4 think we are mad, the trip being a challenge for them too! But at the end we find the huge domes striped orange and black, also called the Bungle Bungle, that we visit in a hurry though in fear of being trapped by the night. The return trip is speedy and we just have enough time to cross the last river before the darkness engulfs us.

Nous voulons visiter le parc national de Purnululu, classé patrimoine mondial en raison de son importance scientifique et de son exceptionnelle beauté. Dans l’impossibilité de louer un 4X4 à Halls Creek, nous devons prendre la difficile décision de faire le trajet de 160 kilomètres dans la journée à moto. De la folie! Les pistes passent sans transition du gravier au sable, un véritable terrain de motocross avec des rivières à traverser, les gamines dans le dos. Les touristes en 4X4 nous prennent pour des fous, le voyage étant un défi pour eux aussi! Mais au bout se trouvent les dômes striés d’orange et noir, aussi appelés «Bungle Bungle», que nous visitons toutefois au pas de course par crainte de nous faire surprendre par la nuit. Le retour se fait à fond et nous avons juste le temps de traverser la dernière rivière avant d’être plongés dans le noir.

ABOUT ME

I live on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches since my arrival in Australia in the year 2000, after having spent a decade in Asia (Malaysia and Cam-bodia). Before that, I lived in Switzerland for four years, after completing my studies in Strasbourg, France.Most of my childhood and teenage years were spent between France and Germany with the exception of a four year stay in Greece.

I am French, speak English and German fluently as well as some Italian and Bahassa Malaysia. I am married to a New Zealander and have two (teenage) girls.

I worked nearly twenty years in foreign trade, holding various positions from PA, accountant, office manager to researcher and event manager with the French Trade Commissions (the equivalent of Austrade in Australia).

Desiring to stay in Australia, I resigned from the diplomatic services and I was then able to embark on a dream trip around the Australian continent with my family, home-schooling our girls for one year. After this incredibly enriching experience, I decided to make a book about this trip and started teaching myself the Adobe InDesign and Photoshop software which eventu-ally led me to a proper graphic design course (TGDS - www.thegraphicde-signschool.com.au) an Australian RTO registered school.

I am now a graphic designer with a certification IV in Design. I discovered that designing is really fun. I want to follow the motto “choose a job you love and you will never have to work another day”!

I also love photography and any project involving beautiful images. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, painting and having fun with digital art.
