Aboriginal Teenager, Australia, 1996
"Conjuring an image as old as his ancestors, an Aboriginal teenager dons a mask of mud while swimming in a billabong, or water hole. For nearly 2,000 generations his people have inhabitied this wild and strangely beautiful spike of land at the top of down under. Steeped in the supernatural, it endures as a stronghold of native culture and one of Australia's last frontiers."

—From "The Uneasy Magic of Australia's Cape York Peninsula," June 1996, National Geographic magazine

【中文譯文】

一個土著男孩在死水潭游泳時，他敷上泥面膜變成像他的祖先一樣古老的形象。在將近2000代人里，他的族人居住在澳大利亞荒野的和出奇美麗的高地一隅。這個地方充滿著超自然的力量，它作為土著文化的一個要塞和澳大利亞最后的邊疆居民之一存在下去。
