The Project
|
-
The Two Down Project is an educational exploration of Australia
and her people.
One man on a motorcycle will be followed by hundreds of schools representing
thousands of students as well as anyone else on the Internet who wants
to come along. On a constantly changing basis, they can access the sights,
sounds, thoughts and beauty of the Land Down Under.
At the end of the journey, the adventure and discoveries will also
be published in an interactive CD Rom and book. It will show the
beauty of Australia and her people. The Two Down Project will combine
photographs of Australia's scenic wonders with portraits and quotations
from people who live amidst that splendor. The project will last for approximately
six months.

The Book

Photography will document the trip and will result in an interactive
CD Rom and book to be published after completion of the journey.
