JOURNEYS
Engelman made many journeys out into the outback throughout the years starting as a child in Model A Ford belonging to her father, and later by herself. However, in recent decades, she has taken many artists and other creatives out on her treks with her to show them the places she loved starting with Arakaroola bi-annually from 2013 through to 2024, a trek Engelman still takes today often.
