AN OUTBACK JOURNEY

Far North Queensland

This series developed as I travelled Far North Queensland. My vision was to give an overview of the terrain, while reflecting the human element in the landscape, giving some sense of the vast distances and isolation between communities. In collating the collection I hoped to reflect a view of our rich and different lives, while also considering the many similarities of our shared humanity.

Travelling over a number of weeks, the project is limited by time, and subsequent geographical defined boundaries, contained to an inland area, that lies across the quasi-State geographical border of North and Far North Queensland, passing through the city of Charters Towers. This was a remarkable journey of colour, texture and relentless bright light, along with renowned Aussie spirit. I experienced some wonderful connections along this journey, and throughout, I was struck by the sense of resilience, community and mate-ship.
