03 THE STORY

About this print

A derelict timber and corrugated iron cottage stands on open green pasture near Jimenbuen, rural New South Wales. The roof is rusted and the walls are stripped of paint. A dead tree stands close to the fence line, an outbuilding sits to one side, and a line of pine trees marks the property boundary against a haze-softened hill.

Buildings across this part of the Monaro have come and gone: cottages, huts, machinery sheds, accommodation for casual workers. Some are still in use. Others have collapsed or been pulled down. What this building was used for, and who built it, is not recorded in any source. Whoever stops repairing a building like this has the choice to either pull it down completely or let it come down on its own. At Jimenbuen, the choice was the second one.

A Place to Call Home

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.
