03 THE STORY

About this print

The High Mountains Motor Inn sits at Blackheath in the upper Blue Mountains, 9 minutes' walk from the railway station, the property name carrying its altitude directly into the brand. Beige walls run behind grey doors. A table and chairs sit out on the concrete, a wicker chair stands beside one of the rooms, and a fire extinguisher is fixed to the wall. The car park is empty in the small hours. The cool mountain air sits across the property.

The High Mountains Motor Inn was photographed at 02:40 on 10 April 2018, on the western Blue Mountains run of Hotel Motel 101. The project covered 101 traditional Australian motor inns across three sweeps out of Sydney in late March and early April 2018: south on the Hume, north on the Pacific, west on the Great Western through the Blue Mountains. Drive-thru reception, parking in front of the rooms, low rise. Altitude-themed names like "High Mountains" were standard among Blue Mountains motor inns, with the property's elevation carried directly into the kerb-side branding.

The series

Hotel Motel 101

2015–2020 · 103 photographs

Hotel Motel 101 is a series of one hundred and one motels photographed in 2018 across three runs out of Sydney. North to the Central Coast, west through the Blue Mountains to the central western tablelands, south down the NSW South Coast. The count crept up from a planned seventy toward the round number, plus one for safety.
