Welcome to the stunning and unforgettable world of rural Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. This photo book is a journey through small country towns, their old buildings and other places that many of us may never have had the chance to experience. Through the lens of a digital camera, the photographer has captured the beauty, mystery, and rawness of a land that is as rugged as it is enchanting. These images were taken using a unique approach that combines modern digital technology with the timeless beauty of 1970s 35mm film. The result is a collection of photographs that transport us back in time and make us feel as though we are experiencing these moments firsthand. As you turn the pages of this book, you will discover uncommon places that are quintessentially Australian. From abandoned buildings to dusty roads, from sunburnt plains to old farm buildings, each photograph is a testament to the resilience and beauty of this land and its people. We often drive past small towns or old farm houses with rusty cars sitting next to dilapidated farm buildings. We don't stop and take the time to look at the beauty that can be found in simple settings. There are stories there, in these places. Stories about old buildings, shops, service stations, fire stations, churches and even an abandoned tennis court on the side of a rural country road. Through these images, enjoy the sense of wonder and adventure and explore outback Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Hopefully this book will inspire you to seek out your own adventures and to experience the magic of this incredible part of the world. This first volume takes you on a road trip through rural Queensland and Northern New South Wales through vivid pastel like images. In the tradition of a photography great, Stephen Shore, you are invited to immerse yourself in the captivating images that lie within these pages.
