03 THE STORY

About this print

A weatherboard cottage with a corrugated iron roof stands across open grassland in the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales. The front verandah is partially intact. Eucalyptus trees have grown close against the walls, and the surrounding pasture has advanced to the building's edge. Inside, decaying wallpaper peels from the walls.

Roadside inns were a feature of nineteenth-century Australian country life, serving travellers and bullockies on the long distances between towns. As the railways replaced horse-and-bullock transport in the late nineteenth century, most lost their traffic and closed. No source connects this building to any named inn or hotel; the name attached to the print describes how it looks, not what the record shows it was.

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.
