03 THE STORY

About this print

Room 3 at the Saleyard Motel at Jamberoo, near Kiama. A cream panel door, two aluminium chairs and a small table sit outside. The walls are red brick, the windows barred, and a tree drops leaf shadow across the forecourt. Light flares from the lamps beneath the upper balcony. The frame was made after 2 am, the forecourt empty.

The Saleyard Motel was photographed at 02:18 on 7 April 2018, on the South Coast 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 and Princes Highway corridor, north on the Pacific, west on the Great Western. Drive-thru reception, parking in front of the rooms, low rise. Country-town motels named for the local industry (Saleyard, Railway, Brewery) carried their trade pitch directly in the property name.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Two-storey red brick facade. Unit number 3. A cream panel door with twin arched mouldings sits beside a large gridded window, grey curtains drawn behind the glass. Aluminium café table and two chairs rest on worn brick paving. Above, a balcony railing holds back a tangle of vine leaves catching low sun. Lens flare bleeds warm across the brickwork. A small coach lantern is mounted between the door and the upper storey.

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.
