Audiences were inspired by the beauty of the landscape and enjoyed the spectacular images, original music and the eloquent voices of Aboriginal peoples, artists and conservationists who spent a remarkable summer journeying to this remote yet threatened wilderness. Many of the artists who participated in the Three Rivers Journey attended the events and shared their personal experience of how this incredible wilderness inspired their art creations.
