52-year-old Rebecca Wilkins never comes home deprived of treasures from her travels. She has found a way to justify her adventurous aptitude, venturing far and wide around the world to scout products to sell in her quaint shop in Braidwood, NSW. Beck recalls the time a chunk of turquoise is given to her in India and she must find her way through a Mosque to find a man in exchange for furniture for her shop. The piece, The Travelling Shop, will be a 5-minute documentary made by Joe Lawless and Saskia Christensen.
