Gallery 3: Education & Sustainability Across Australia

On March 11, 2012

The team has traveled from the population center of Sydney north to the remote communities of the Top End in the Northern Territory, and then east to the grasslands and Great Barrier Reef communities in north Queensland. It’s been an intense, adventure-filled journey spent capturing education and sustainability narratives from a broad spectrum of individuals, communities, and organizations along the way.

We invite you to read the full update that accompanies this photo gallery.
