Letter From the Editors After a summer away from Tufts, we’re excited to be back on campus and serving as Editors-inChief of the Traveler. We’re looking forward to working with our returning staff as well as many new faces this year. We have an enthusiastic, well-traveled team: on the next page, you can see a map of the places they explored over the summer. This year, we are excited to expand the Tufts Traveler Magazine to include a blog! Whether you are currently studying abroad or went hiking over the weekend here in Boston, share your experiences and love for traveling with us at tuftstraveler.wordpress.com. For this issue, the Tufts Traveler has finally come to the Land Down Under. Both New Zealand and Australia have become popular destinations for Tufts students to study abroad. New Zealand has always been known for its stunning landscapes and colossal number of sheep. Share our fascination with Australia by reading about the beauty of Tasmania or artist Richard Bell’s exhibit in the Tufts Art Gallery. Happy Travels, Rebecca Grunberg and Jenna Liang

A Kiwi Reunion

M
any winters ago, when I was in 7th grade, I was lucky enough to have a family reunion in New Zealand. The choice of location may seem rather random, but it was ideal considering that some of my extended family lives in New Zealand and Australia. As I sat through the 13 hour long plane ride, I mainly thought about reuniting with everyone, heeding little attention to the fact that I was entering a land where sheep outnumber humans, where Frodo and Sam scurried across the hills of Matamata, and where Flight of the Conchords penned their first pieces. Despite these quirks, New Zealand is extremely underrated: after all, some Australia did try to sell it on Ebay a few years ago. My overall memory of the trip is rather fuzzy, but many visceral snapshots remain, and I can say with confidence that New Zealand is one of the more breathtaking places that I’ve traveled to. One of our first activities was a cruise on Milford Sound; it’s a fjord, or a long, narrow arm of the sea bordered by steep cliffs. The cruise navigated us past sleek waterfalls, up to the foot of the Southern Alps. Milford Sound is known as one of the wettest places on Earth, but we luckily endured only a slight drizzle—though many do argue that going when it rains is the best way to capture the true experience. It goes without saying that the scenery was beautiful, but I remember best the feeling of serenity that washed over me as I immersed myself in such an isolated and tranquil environment. Apparently this area is touted as the “eighth wonder of the world,” and I could definitely see why. A second notable part of the trip was visiting the Franz Josef Glacier. Along with Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier is unique in
the fact that it ends in a temperate rainforest. While I was there, I had the chance to go glacier climbing, and as someone who can barely run a mile without dying, it exceedingly pleases me to say that I’ve participated in such an exotic sport. In theory it sounds intense: we were equipped with sturdy crampons for our shoes and warned about the dangers of falling into glacial crevasses. In practice, however, we took the easiest tour and our climb functioned more like a simple walk through an icy trail. Either way, whether it be a stroll or an intense athletic excursion, don’t miss experiencing Franz Josef. My most exhilarating memory of New Zealand comes from Queenstown. In addition to being a filming location for Lord of the Rings and a hotspot for wine and cuisine, Queenstown is renowned for its adventure tourism, with activities ranging from mountain biking to bungy jumping. There was a thrilling pulse to the place as a result, making up for the tourists swarming the area. I vividly remember my experience paragliding and the conversation I had with the person accompanying me. Though not a native to New Zealand, he was so genuinely thrilled with his job and paragliding never seemed to lose its luster for him. I won’t even try to eloquently phrase the actual experience: all I can say is that my next stop is hopefully skydiving. There’s much more to New Zealand than what I touched on, especially the lively and pervasive role of Maori culture in everyday life. Accustomed to the workaholic pace of the East Coast, I found the relaxed and active lifestyle refreshing. So, although the tiresome plane ride and exact details of the trip may be forgotten years after the fact, the stunning images and senses of the environment still last.
Looking for a Thrill? by Jenna Liang
Bungy Jumping
Diving
The islanders of Vanuatu had only wished to appease the gods and ensure a good harvest when they jumped off a 35 meter tower with vines tied to their ankles. Today, latex rubber cords are used instead. Did you know? The world’s first commercial bungy jump took place in Queenstown, New Zealand in 1988.
Facts about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia: Home to about 1500 species of fish, 400 types of coral, 4000 breeds of clams and other molluscs, 500 varieties of seaweed, 200 bird species, 1500 different sponges, and 6 types of turtles; has a floating post office where you can get your postcards marked with the unique Great Barrier Reef Stamp.
Cage-Diving Get up close and personal with Great White Sharks off the Eyre Peninsula.
Caving
Check out the Glowworm Caves where the worms light up the underground.
Catch Pesky Animals Be like the late Steve Irwin and get up close to the crocs. Since you’re at it, help get rid of the Cane Toads and rabbits.
Most Memorable Dive in Australia: Shark feeding at “North Horn” at Osprey Reef. Best Dive Spots in New Zealand: 75 meter wall dives at Poor Knights Islands, rated by Jacques Cousteau as one of the top ten dive sites in the world; Wreck Diving in Northland; Goat Island Marine Reserve.
Fishing
New Zealand: The fishing is best in summer and autumn; try for tuna and shark around Fiordland as well as snapper and kingfish in the Marlborough Sounds; New Zealand is reputed to have the best trout fishing in the world. Australia: Do you dream about landing a marlin? North Queensland is known as the Black Marlin capital of the world. Or try trolling for wahoo, yellowfin tuna, Mahi Mahi or barracuda in the waters off Cairns. For fly fishing, venture along the rivers in the Northern Territory for Barramundi. Otherwise, keep your eyes open and enjoy the abundance of migratory birds, occcasional crocodile, and stunning scenery.

Sky Diving
New Zealand: For 45 seconds of sheer exhiliration, check out Lake Taupo and Tongariro National Park from 15,000 feet for an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Australia: Whale watch from the sky at Byron Bay.
Glacier Hiking
What’s special about Glacier Hiking in New Zealand: The combination of ice and temperate rainforest in the same ecosystem. Best Spots for Glacier Hiking in New Zealand: The 13 kilometer long Fox Glacier; the 7000 year old Franz Josef Glacier; Aoraki and Mount Cook National Park; Milky Lakes at the Tasman Glacier.
Hiking
Australia: Feast your eyes on the unique flora and fauna while enjoying the excellent hostels, over 300 National Parks and 8000 islands. Just warning you, “Bushwalking” is Aussie for “Hiking.” New Zealand has 14 National Parks and Conservation Areas. Take your pick!
Parabungy Fancy a fantastic free fall? Get hooked up to a parachute and bungy.
Skiing/ Snowboarding The Australian Alps, also known as The Snowy Mountains, receive more snow than Switzerland.

Language Revitalization in Aotearoa “T
e Reo,” which means “the language,” is spoken by the Maori indigenous group in Aotearoa, more commonly known to travelers as New Zealand. Recently, it has been experiencing a resurgence due to hard fought efforts by Maori leaders to preserve their culture. Historically, the Maori people have long resisted the encroachment of settlers on their culture. The colonial government established after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 used boarding schools in Maori communities as a way to educate and Christianize youth. This was tremendously disruptive to family structures and language transmission, especially after English was declared as the sole language of instruction in 1867. Nevertheless, since Christian missionaries actively fostered literacy, the Maori society was able to produce print media in Te Reo and include newspapers that documented Te Reo, making revitalization efforts in the 1970s and 1980s far more feasible. The innovative methods used by Maori to revitalize their language continue to shape language preservation efforts worldwide. A key component to language revitalization is teaching the language to younger generations, particularly children. To accomplish
By Emily Clayton this, the “language nest” model, known as kohanga reo, and immersive kindergarten programs have been essential. These programs help establish a strong understanding of the language from a very young age, and they encourage social cohesion by involving community elders in the transmission of language. However, languages are fluid; it is essential for a languge to expand and adapt its use to many new contexts to reflect modern realities and ensure its survival. A fascinating component of Maori language revitalization lies in its use of modern media and communications as a tool for preserving language and culture. Today, Te Māngai Pāho, the Maori Broadcast Funding Agency funds nationally syndicated TV shows and over 20 radio stations, which include programming produced by and geared towards the needs of Maori communities themselves. The Maori Language Act, established in 1987, made both Maori and English the official languages of New Zealand. While the use of the Maori language in Maori communities has risen since the 1970s, broader social acceptance of its use by white New Zealanders will be essential for ensuring its continued survival.

Tasmania and the Spirit of Solitude By Isaac Freeman
I
don’t remember where I first heard about the Walls of Jerusalem, but the brochure I found online was enough to grab my attention: “This remote park is not accessible by road, and there are no facilities for shortstop visitors. Bushwalkers should be experienced and well equipped for alpine conditions”. I was intrigued. It continued: “The wild weather characteristic of the ‘Walls’ is as much part of experiencing the region as the landscape. As visibility can be reduced to zero, it is important that all walking parties carry a map and compass and be able to use them”. Oh, but wait, “Walkers should note that magnetic mineral deposits in the region may affect compass readings”. Before I had even finished the brochure, I was hooked. There I was, sitting in the library at the University of Queensland, watching my computer’s clock count down my last remaining days in Australia as I worked my way through an essay. I had time for one last trip before heading back to the US, and right then, I decided it would be Tasmania. It didn’t matter that Tasmania and The Walls were halfway across the continent from where I was in Brisbane; when you are already on the other side of the globe, what’s an extra few thousand miles? I figured out that if I timed it just right, I could squeeze in a four-day trip and still be back in time for my exams. Based on the description,
I couldn’t figure out why none of my friends seemed interested, so I just decided to go alone. As reckless as this trip probably sounds, it was actually very calculated. I was to spend two nights out. I would hike in on the first day and set up camp. The next day, weather permitting, I could explore further into the park before returning for the night to my campsite and hiking out the next day. I would have a GPS recording my tracks the entire time, and the car-park was only a few miles from where I was camping. Even better was that it was all uphill on the way in, which meant it would be all downhill on the way out. It was the perfect mix of remoteness and safety: I could get way off the beaten path, while still spending my nights only a few hours walk from my car (in case of emergency). When I landed, I discovered that Tasmanian airports are funny things. There are police dogs onsite to sniff you. But unlike in the US, where they sniff you for bombs, in Tassie, they sniff you for fruit. Realistically, the risk of unintentional bioterrorism from a wayward apple seed or grape is a much greater threat to the tiny island than a bomb. Kind of a refreshing change of pace, actually. At any rate, I collected my giant duffle and picked up my rental car. I drove until the pavement ended. From there I took a smaller, gravel road until it forked, and I ended up 15 on 15
an even smaller road. It was beautiful, but the quaint, one-lane, wooden bridges made it easy to tell that I was out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately for me, I got a late start that day. By the time I bought my food and camping fuel and made it to the trailhead, it was well into the afternoon—not exactly the best time to be starting a hike. But armed with a pair of sturdy boots, my overnight gear, and my sense of adventure, I started up the trail. Less than an hour into the hike, I passed an older couple in the opposite direction. They were polite about it, but I think they thought I was nuts for getting such a late start. They were probably right. I kept second-guessing myself
16
as I continued to climb. It got dark right as I hit the snowline, but the trail was more or less discernible (most of the time), so I kept going. As I kept hiking, the snow got deeper and icier, and as the hours wore on, I was beginning to worry if I’d missed my campsite or taken a wrong turn. But there’s a fine line in backpacking: it’s prudent to be aware and cautious, but if you spend all your time worrying, you’ll miss out on the beauty all around you. Be that as it may, I kept getting progressively antsier, until, much to my surprise, I noticed a flashlight shining in the distance. This meant a few things for me. First, it meant that I hadn’t missed my campsite, and
second, it meant that I wouldn’t be out there completely alone. As much as I love solitude, there is certainly something nice about knowing that you aren’t completely alone. Mostly. That night was cold. Cold enough in fact, to freeze my boots solid. Unsurprisingly, I wasn’t quite ready to get out of bed in the morning. Instead I slid my sleeping bag down just enough to get my arms out and cooked my oatmeal in the snow right outside the door of my tent. I lay there, sipping on a steaming mug of Earl Grey, and looked up to the mountain ridge. I really couldn’t have asked for a clearer morning. After warming up, I decided to leave the majority of my gear in my tent and go on a day hike up onto the ridge. As often happens, nature got the last laugh. The further up I went, the heavier the snow became and the less obvious the trail. Before too
long, it was gone altogether, and that marked the end of the line for me. Without a buddy and without snowshoes, I decided pushing any further would have been foolish. As it was, I was post-holing up to my mid-calf, and I knew it was only going to get worse. I gave up on Mt. Jerusalem and decided instead on a lesser peak, right off the trail. It wasn’t as high, but the view from the top was incredible, made even more so by my solitude. There I was on the top of a ridge, and I was truly alone. In my entire 360˚ view, there wasn’t a single person in sight. Just me and the snow and the rocks. And it was glorious. Yes, I had to get back to camp before it got dark, and yes, within two weeks I would have to be back home in the US, but for those few minutes, I was completely taken aback by the beauty of Tasmania.
Richard Bell: Uz vs. Them By Madeline Christensen
W
hen young and footloose travelers think of Australia, they tend to imagine pristine beaches, scuba diving amongst vibrant coral, and road trips in the outback. Few tourists or students abroad in Australia have the opportunity to inspect the social issues behind the sunshine. That façade is exactly what Richard Bell, the man behind the Tufts Art Gallery’s current art exhibit, “Uz vs. Them,” is trying to peel away. Through paintings, photography, and video, Bell confronts visitors with the ugly truth of the racism and exploitation underlying modern Australian society. Some of Bell’s work elicits laughter. Some of it provokes discomfort. All of it contains a layer of meaning beyond what initially meets the eye. Bell describes himself as an activist who makes art. “Art should look like its maker,” he postulated to a class visiting the exhibit, explaining why his own art is “big, bold, brash, honest.” Bell’s bright and sweeping canvases certainly provide some stunning eye candy for visitors. Yet each piece makes a statement. Bell oftentimes hides subversive text amongst a forest of splattered paint, or might repeat
symbols throughout his work. For example, the image of a target comes to stand for the way that Australian aboriginals are targets of racist violence over and over again. Bell employs stereotypically “aboriginal” patterns in his art, while simultaneously de-romanticizing this “authentic” aesthetic. “Aboriginal art” is in fact a “white thing” – produced perhaps by Aboriginals but out of white demand for “authentic”-looking pieces. Bell calls this kind of art “ooga-booga” art- art that has been attributed spiritual qualities which its creator never intended. In fact, it was the colonizing whites who re-wrote Australian history, and who continue to control the production of expressions of Aboriginal identity. Bell was born in 1953. He spent the first two years of his life living in a tent before his family could finally obtain enough scrap metal to build a tin shack. His father found seasonal work, the only work available to Aboriginal people in the 1950s. Otherwise, the family lived mostly off the land, hunting animals to gain a hand-to-mouth livelihood. In 1959, he and his brother moved to the Rhetta Dixon Home, a place where the state brought half-caste or “sto-

Though Bell’s work largely relates to Australian indigenous peoples, his messages speak to the dilemmas facing indigenous groups world over. These groups are often trapped in a secondary position in society, denied the rights and privileges enjoyed by others. It becomes difficult or impossible for them to develop with economic and social opportunities within the context of their own culture. In all too many ways, the stories that Bell unearths in his exhibit mirror those embedded in the history of our own country. Bell’s art is sometimes shocking, and sometimes uncomfortable for visitors to contemplate. Yet this tension is driven by a strong activist message for Australians- and for our own country.

len” Aboriginal children to “save their souls.” Despite the dark times that Bell endured early on in life and the gravity of his subject matter, Bell’s weapon of choice as an activist is humor. In his video, “Broken English,” Bell shows up at a fashion expo showcasing pieces apparently inspired by village artists. He takes the rich and famous off guard when he asks them whether they think that Aboriginals ought to have a treaty. In another piece, “Prospectus.22,” Bell combines the patterns of “ooga-booga” art with a fictional treaty between Aboriginal people, who had never signed a treaty with the English, and the People’s Republic of China. The treaty is signed by “Ian DiJinus.” Along with this sarcastic humor, the piece also references the real violence that indigenous people face. The piece is dotted with bullet holes

Music
Flight of the Conchords New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie rose to fame after years of playing gigs at comedy clubs and festivals. They got their big break in 2005, when they starred in a BBC radio show. In 2007, the duo was introduced to a mainstream American audience with an eponymous television series on HBO. Some of their most popular comedy songs include “The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)”, and “Hiphopopotamus and Rhymenocerous.”
Angus and Julia Stone Best known for their song, “Big Jet Plane”, Angus and Julia Stone are a brother-sister folk duo hailing from Sydney, Australia. Their second album, “Down the Way”, was the highest-selling album by an Australian artist in 2010. In addition to their work as a duo, the siblings each pursue solo projects on the side. Critically acclaimed for their unique indie-folk sound, the Stones have won numerous awards on the Australian national scene.
Pop Culture from Down Under By Charmaine Poh
Hillsong While little known to the secular audience, Hillsong is famous in the Christian circuit worldwide, and their songs are often used in church services. Hillsong travels around the world to perform at conferences and concerts, attracting audiences of thousands.
Brooke Fraser Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, Brooke Fraser worked as a magazine editor, but after the success of her first album, “What to Do with Daylight,” she moved to Auckland to pursue her music career. Her blend of folk-pop has made her one of New Zealand’s most internationally well-known artists, spurring collaborations with Aqualung, Jon Foreman and the Cary Brothers. Her song “Something in the Water” topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand in 2010. Fraser is also known for her charity work, sparked by a trip to Rwanda in 2005, where she met an orphan named Albertine. That encounter inspired the production of her second album, named after the child. 20
Film Whale Rider (2002) Based on the novel of the same name by Witi Ihimaera, the film follows the story of a young Maori girl named Pai who discovers her place as the leader of her tribe. Starring Keisha CastleHughes, the film garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Happy Feet (2006) This computer-animated family film about a community of penguins who love to sing and dance was the most expensive Australian film ever made, and the first Australian film to win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. Directed by George Miller, the film gained praise for incorporating cinematography into contemporary animation, as well as for its environmentalist message.
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) This film, set in 1931, chronicles the experiences of three Aboriginal children who are separated from their family by a government “re-education” policy. They escape and try to find their way home across the outback. Controversial due to its exploration of the “Stolen Generation,” Aboriginal children who were taken from their families by the Australian government and raised in foster homes, Rabbit-Proof Fence nonetheless went on to win major awards in Australia.
Australia (2008) Starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, Australia is a love story set during World War II. This film, directed by Baz Luhrmann, was the secondhighest grossing Australian film of all time.
