Welcome to my Wambana Blog

 Welcome to family, friends and teachers who have taken the time to visit this… my Wardli Is filled with 6 people, Thomas Lancione, Marco Mitolo, Min-soo Lee, Eddie Hannemann and Kosta Mavropoulos. We each share it as home for our stay at Wambana. Our Wardli including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a laundry, kitchen and lounge room of which we need to maintain clean and live a healthy lifestyle. We are required to cook, clean and work hard in several activities that tack place during our stay. Wardli means “Dwelling” in the local Aboriginal language. Although life seems bliss, it is really very stressful. We need to finish tasks in a required period of time with no slack, in fear of possible consequence. Duties need to be done and sometimes there is just not enough time. The life of Wambana is very hard but also very good for our well-being, self-discipline and vision of what life will be like for us in a few years. The whole group competes in the “Wambana challenge” which is a competition of which Wardli’s are given points for accomplishments; the team with the most points at the end of each week wins a prize. Our Wardli (4) is currently on 1 point which is at 3^rd place. Another part of staying in the Wardli’s is inspections, one is taken place each morning and night and we all begin with 20 points. If we lose over 20 points we are forced to sleep on our veranda in the cold. Wambana at the present times is already changing my views on life and my life itself.
