Description: "A Walkabout is a right of passage that the Australian Aborigines practiced. During a Walkabout a person would undergo a journey during adolescence and live in the wilderness for a period of time. It is known as a spiritual journey somebody takes as a transition into adulthood. I came home one night to my parents furious with the decisions that I had been making. Within the next twenty-four hours I found myself stranded in the middle of the western desert of Utah with only the essentials of survival and a journal. It was my turn to experience the Australian Aborigines' 'walkabout'"--P. [1].
