03 THE STORY

About this print

Gunningrah Drover's Hut is a small corrugated iron structure standing alone on open grassland in the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales. The iron walls, faded to pale blue-grey, hold together. Dead timber and scattered eucalypts mark the plain behind it, the horizon running flat and wide in every direction.

Small huts of this kind are scattered across the high country, put up in corrugated iron on the open runs. What this one was used for, and by whom, is not recorded in any source. It is still standing, which is more than can be said for many of the structures in this series.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Corrugated iron walls, faded to pale blue-grey, hold together a single-room hut on open grassland near Gunningrah. A timber door hangs slightly ajar. One small window. The roof structure is exposed, steel framing visible where sheeting has lifted or gone. Tussock grass spreads in every direction. Behind the hut, eucalypts stand dark against a sky burning deep pink and copper at the horizon.

The series

A Place to Call Home

2015–2020 · 60 photographs

A series of rural homesteads from the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales, with a few from the Hunter Valley. Most were family homes left behind when a generation moved to town; others when the land could no longer be worked. The buildings are smaller than the industrial sites that anchor most of Lost Collective and tend to be older. Most are timber-framed.
