18 18 Some days my day consists of taking a bus load of kids for a bush trip, cooking kangaroo tail and bush tucker, and listening to dreamtime stories.. In these instances, I still can't believe that this is my job. Such a great opportunity to learn and grow. I've been given a skin name- Nangala, which is connected to Emu and water dreaming. My Warlpiri is still very rusty, but I know, 'yes, no, good, bad, come here, go away, and later,'.. I guess it's a start. Although there are challenges, I'm surprised at how much my degree has enabled me to overcome them. I'm also learning so much on the job too. Lauren Pollock July 12, 2016
