Wonder Eyes photo program was done in Doomadgee, an Aboriginal community in the northern part of Australia, in 2001, collaborated with Doomadgee State School, participated 100 children. This community of approximately 2000 aboriginals, suffers from many social problems such as alcoholism and unemployment, often putting children in a difficult situation. However, there is a sign of hope. An outstation movement was underway, initiated by some Aboriginal leaders with vision. People were trying to move back to their ancestral land in order to establish a better environment for children, where they can respect and practice the traditional culture and living. The photo workshop was done in association with this movement.
