Over the next four months,
the sanctuary’s staff, rangers,
volunteers, and workshop lead-
ers graciously let me follow
them around and document their
work. While I didn’t see as many
animals as I had initially hoped-
the 30 hectares of bushland
turned out to be a much larger
hiding place for them than I
could’ve guessed I learned so
much about them, and the rest
of the sanctuary, that I felt my ex-
perience had much more value.
“I was Eliza Thornberry.”
The day after Orientation I
grabbed a new friend to explore
the site with. All I wanted was
what any 21-year-old female
American in Australia wanted- to
see the kangaroos. And knowing
that I would be taking my irst photojournalism course at this
university, I already had my irst subject picked out. I was Eliza
Thornberry. And this Sanctuary
would be my next big adventure.
An adventure it was, but not in
the ways I was most expecting.
The sanctuary irst opened its gates in 1967, but any visitor
today can see the land has many
nods to a rich history before that.
Cases in point are the magnii-
cent redwood “scar” trees that
blanket the bushland. These
trees are named so because
Aboriginal Australians in the 1800s
used their wood to make canoes
and other tools. The indigenous
people knew if they cut the
trees in such a way it would not
kill them, but only leave a scar.
Another main attraction to the
sanctuary is the workshops it
offers to primary through high
school students from nearby
schools. Students can come
spend anywhere between a few
hours to an entire day at the
sanctuary, learning how to call
frogs, identify water plants, and
use nesting boxes to monitor
animal behavior, among other
things. There is even a nighttime
guided tour for people looking
to spot a sugar glider or two.

1We drew from our experiences
interacting with Gullah people,
online research, and photos
provided by the directors, to
come up with our Artboard- a
compilation of our inspirations
for the site. You will see our board
rel ected in our i nal site’s color
scheme, laid-back typeface, and
earthy textures.
2We had been given a great title to
work with: “The Last Farmer In Gullah
Land”, and this became our jumping
of point for design. Taking into
account the title’s elusivity, the i rst
thing we all agreed on was to utilize
silhouettes in our layout, as an iconic
representation of the “Last Farmer”.
3For our slideshow animation,
which was to be the bulk of
the homepage, we focused on
including shots that enforced
community and diligence-
two necessary traits that have
kept the Gullah culture alive in
St. Helena.

4We experimented with
diferent variations of our
initial design to ind one that
suited the ilm’s tone the
best. Two design techniques
we were hoping to use,
vibrant colors and pluf mud
texture, did not translate
well when put in place, so
we adjusted accordingly.
