IT'S a special week for Port Adelaide's Aboriginal AFL Academy.
This week marks the Academy's annual study tour, and the 2018 trip will see the young group of boys head to North East Arnhem Land as part of their SACE Stage 2 Aboriginal Studies curriculum.
The boys will spend some time in Nyinyikay, a remote Indigenous coastal homeland in East Arnhem Land, and attend Garma 2018 - the largest and most vibrant annual celebration of Yolngu culture.
Join us as we share their experiences each day, through the camera lens.
