Pilgrimage To Uluru
The Pilgrim's Journalwhat is a pilgrimage?
More than sightseeing, more than a holiday. We take the opportunity to learn as much as we can on the road. We stop. We listen. We change. Taking a pilgrimage is making a choice to know the past, so that we can change the future.
our journey
We start at points all around Australia, and spend ten days exploring our country. We learn about the traditional cultures of the lands we pass through.
our destination
Uluru is in the heart of Australia. The stories and history surrounding Uluru represent the beautiful and painful past that many of us know so little about.
our hope
We hope that young people come away from the Pilgrimage with a heart to make a difference, in their own lives, in the lives of others, and in the world that they inhabit.

Kayla, Mornington Peninsula"The Pilgrimage can help change you, and help open your eyes to the things around you. I would not look at the world the same after this."
Jake, Western Australia"The Pilgrimage to Uluru is really about finding yourself, and the journey that you go on. And really just learning about different cultures and Aboriginal aspects of life. I think this is one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life."

Acknowledgement
Fusion Australia acknowledges the incredible design of our Creator, who in the beginning decided that it was right and good for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to be resident here, to care for this land and enjoy the fruit of it.
We continue the Indigenous cultural traditions of respect, servanthood and honour by offering our respect to the Elders, both past, present and future, of the land on which we work, and in so doing, we join with and will continue the restoring, reconciling and healing work of our Creator within and between all the peoples of Australia.
