In May 2009 Norie Neumark and Maria Miranda followed the trail of explorer Charles Sturt, whose party hauled a whaling boat over the mountains to sail downstream along the Murrumbidgee River to the Murray in search of an inland sea. Beginning in Sydney, the artists made a (miniature - paper) whaling boat to take along Sturts trail - the boat acting as a transportation/transformation device for their journey into memory and imagination. Making paper boats with found material along the way, and then with videos and soundtracks, they updated Sturt's journey as a performative media event for the 21st century. Three soundtracks, three scenes and a pile of paper boats
