6) The tourists on female-led treks can only be women, and tours cannot run overnight. Each day before the sun sets, the group returns to the Hamada tribe’s home village in Wadi Sahu
7) Julie Paterson, a Sinai Trail trip officer, rests with Umm Yasser. Until recently, all the project’s guides were men. Almost all tribes still reject female guides. Only the Hamada – one of the smallest, oldest and poorest tribes – accepted the idea
8) From left: Aicha, Umm Soliman, Umm Yasser and Selima. The organisers urge tourists to photograph the guides only when they are wearing a veil
9) Umm Yasser was the first woman to join the project. She says she started hiking when she was a child and knows the mountains and the valley by heart. She convinced the families of three other women to allow them to work as guides
10) While male Bedouin guides range far from home, the women tend to stay closer, with an exceptionally rich knowledge of the surrounding mountains. They teach tourists about the local plants and herbs and the history and legends of the area, and point out the borders of the area’s tribes

This is a massive amount of people that could change the outcome of the election. That means that we need to make sure as many people as possible are aware of the deadline by reblogging this, posting information on Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc, and informing them to go to www.aec.gov.au/enrol/
And for those who have moved house since the last election it’s important to update your details: www.aec.gov.au/enrol/change-address.htm and if you’ve changed your name: www.aec.gov.au/enrol/change-name.htm
If you’re unsure if your details are up to date you can check via: https://check.aec.gov.au/
It is incredibly important to spread this information before April 18th! Together we can change the future of Australia and the best way to do that is to make sure as many people as possible vote! Remember: politicians want to stay in power, and they do that by putting forward policies to large enough demographics that they can get elected. If you don’t vote they don’t care about making policies that benefit you so enrol to vote and make sure your friends do too! Together we can make a change!
Only a few days left to enrol to vote!
You know what this move is? It’s a government that’s scared of young voters. The climate marches and school strikes have them running scared.
They called the election so close deliberately hoping that younger voters will forget or neglect to get themselves organised to vote. They can’t stop you from voting, voting is mandatory so long as you’re on the electoral roll, but they want to avoid you getting onto the electoral roll.
It takes a minute to check your enrollment details. It just takes your name, street and suburb. (Remember your middle name).
Heck, you can even check your friend’s enrollment for them if you know their name and address.
Every vote counts. Some seats were decided by under 20 votes last time, which is incredibly close.
Do it now, and recognise that’s a move from a government running scared.
