Do you think Lena's 'Photo Album' echoes a similar message concerning the voices we privilege? Or in other words, do we seek out the narratives that we want to hear?

[Keep in mind: This does not diminish Lena's search for identity, but rather, invites us to consider our implicit consumption of colonial voices].

How does Sen use the physical act of walking, particularly in the foreground of rapidly moving vehicles, to centre First Nations identity [and both character's search for identity] as inherently "present".

Or in other words, what are these vehicles [as notions of the colonial push for aggressive, mass-produced and conformative development] missing in the rural landscape?

But for this question, I want you guys to consider our own surrounding landscapes. Use Google Maps to examine Moree's landscape today. How have the images you've discovered altered much since 2000? Do you see more industrial development?

And in doing so, consider this prompt ...

As you yourself move across different landscapes [whether this be your home street, a favourite Australian site (e.g., beach), etc.], compare and contrast the first thing you always notice against something you might begin taking more notice of.

What different insights (websites, journal articles, etc.) can you find to strengthen your understanding?

In Year 12 (and university/tafe should you wish to pursue it), there becomes a larger emphasis on peer-reviewed scholarly evidence to support own interpretations.
