This extraordinary journey began in a 1961 Ex-Army Ambulance dubbed ‘The Message Stick’ that was first built for WAR, now rebuilt for PEACE. After 10 years in the harsh third world communities in the Australian Outback, Michael Butler, Samantha Martin and Michelle White discover their own awareness in promoting the positive aspects of Aboriginal Australia.

They drove out of Sydney heading North with only $300 dollars in their pockets, a digital camera and a passion to learn about the Aboriginal cultures. ‘The Message Stick’ 4WD vehicle

became their home and production vehicle, giving them access into

the remote communities in the outback.

The vehicle is re-enacting a 50,000 year-old story of traditional

message sticks that traveled around Australia on foot by young

Aboriginal warriors, this form of communication was used

to pass on important news and messages to different language

groups. It identifies the bearer and welcomes them on strange

land, but instead of a stick this modern day motorized

Message Stick vehicle becomes the canvas for Peace and

Reconciliation around the World sharing and gathering

important messages of the preservation of an Ancient culture.
