Rural Living - Death of the country? https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/ Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:17:25 GMT World Nomads Adventures I have had a small taste of overseas travel, love it and want to do more. Most recently I have been exploring my homeland via a road trip from Melbourne to Cairns & back. I am passionate about culture & the environment and try to convey the beauty I see in our natural world in my photography. https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/49948/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-varied-land Travel Australia ruthie https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/49948/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-varied-land#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/49948/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-varied-land Sun, 2 Nov 2014 11:14:00 GMT 0 I am an amateur photographer who has enjoyed the experience of learning the art through trial & error. As much as I have always wanted to study photography, due to family issues it has only been recently that I was able to purchase my first DSLR and I am planning to formalise my learning in the coming year. My free time is usually spent wondering streets or taking road trips - camera in hand - seeing what there is to see and discovering new sights. I am adventurous, love to travel and passionate about nature and the environment. My top 5 role models are David Suzuki, Nelson Mandela, David Attenborough, John Butler & Tim Minchin. Why would I like to win? Easy, I would love the entire experience of learning from a National Geographic photographer as it has been a long standing “dream job” to work for such an organisation. To experience what a real field expedition is like would be invaluable, and to have the opportunity & exposure a dream come true. I hope that through photography I can inspire people, show the world the beauty that I see in nature, the need for a new way of harmonious living and highlight both the wonders and injustices of our world. https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/36776/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-Death-of-a-Country Travel Australia ruthie https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/36776/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-Death-of-a-Country#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/ruthie/photos/36776/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-Death-of-a-Country Tue, 1 Jan 2013 15:48:00 GMT 0
