Walkabout
Walkabout
A “Walkabout” comes from the Australian Aborigine “rite of passage” that young males undergo as a journey during adolescence to live in the wilderness for a period as long as six months. It is through this journey that the young male would trace the paths or “songlines” of their ancestors, imitate them and cherishing their ancestral heroic deeds. It is also defined as (Merrian-Webster dictionary) “a short period of wandering bush life engaged in by an Australian aborigine as an occasional interruption of regular work”. Today, adopted by worldwide cultures as a “quest to find oneself” or “travelling with wanderlust to determine one’s life’s passage and purpose”.
