I thought I’d break up some of my writing with a bit an experience I had a few weeks ago. I travelled out to the Mundi Mundi desert for a filming trip with my new friends from @peace and an old friend Vinny Tang. I had never been out to the desert before and to be honest I didn’t know what to expect. Before any film trip I try to envision exactly what I endeavour to capture, but 100% of the time it never pans out that way. I always end up getting lost in the art and somehow make it out at the other end. The Mundi Mundi was something else though. The Mundi Mundi is the closest ‘real’ desert to Melbourne and is where they filmed Mad Max II many years ago. There is something about a connection with vast nothingness that frees your mind and almost enables a pin point focus on the finer details. It was honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. I was lucky enough to travel with three very open minded individuals which really enhanced the experience.
I can really appreciate why people thrive living a simple life, surrounded by such an abundance of beauty. If you are a city or suburban dweller, I would highly recommend going out there. I can guarantee that it will put you at peace with things, even if it’s momentary.
