Tourism Australia's campaign by Baz Luhrmann:
"Sometimes we have to get lost to find ourselves. Sometimes we gotta go walkabout"
walkabout A temporary return to traditional Aboriginal life, taken especially between periods of work or residence in white society and usually involving a period of travel through the bush.
Walkabout is an Australian English word originally referring to the belief of non-indigenous Australians that Aboriginies were prone to "go walkabout" - a pidgin expression meaning that they would stop doing their jobs and wander through the bush for weeks at a time. This was a time of reflection and a chance to connect with nature and to rediscover one’s self.
Walkabout may be used to refer to a person's desire to travel without a planned itinerary or set destination.
