A moment 29 years ago changed everything

MY WORLDVIEW: As a 14 year old I went to a place called Wollangarra. There was a lot to like for a country kid who’d found himself living in the city, as if I’d returned to a world of trees and farming and big hats. We hiked for several days in the Victorian Alps, which as far as I remember was the first real hike I did. I remember thinking ‘this would be a great life’! Good parenting, then Wollangarra, was my crossroad. Having not been to Wollangarra for 29 years I thought it was about time I revisit this formative, magical place on the edge of a river in the foothills to the mountains. A few months later, in the US for work, I visited Camp Sangamon, a place I worked for 10 years as a kayaking-hiker-carpenter. As a midlife adult looking for meaning, it’s been nice to recognise that my brief experiences at Wollangarra and then a decade of summers at Sangamon made Beau, Beau. -- Produced and Directed by BEAU MILES Produced and Edited by MITCH DRUMMOND Filmed by BEAU MILES Additional Footage MIKE MALONE MITCH DRUMMOND BRETT CAMPBELL JOHN PICKLAP CHRIS ORD Assistant Editor & Colour Grade LUCY CAWOOD Final Sound Mix JAMES DOBSON Goodonya Jed Byrom and the huge Sanga family Smitho, Katie and the Woll team Christine and Mike Malone Lucy Northmore -- Click here for more Beauisms - https://linktr.ee/beauisms
