Located within the Eternity gallery at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, the Your Story video booths offer visitors the chance to contribute their own story to the exhibition - and the response has been overwhelming.
Visitors have been sharing their stories of hope, joy, fear, thrill, chance, loneliness, mystery, devotion, separation and passion. The fear of death, chance encounters, the thrill of roller coasters. Stories of tremendous passion, stories of limitless hope and joy.
Parents speak of the fear they have of becoming responsible for another life, the hope that they have for their children and for the future of Australia. Children share the thrill of rides, the joy of birthdays and the pain of separation from friends or family.
