A MOVING EXPERIENCE …
For over seven years we have been on the road.
We’ve travelled from north Queensland to Southern Tasmania and west to Adelaide. We’ve met amazing people and communities; presented photobook and cyanotype workshops, coordinated exhibitions, events and meetings. We’ve been welcomed into people’s homes and had the opportunity to stay for longer periods of time in certain places by doing ‘house-sits’ and being ‘doggie-minders’.
Always on our travels we’ve been on the lookout for a place to live. Somewhere close to landscape, central to vibrant localities and cities and of course friends. Affordability of real estate always was a concern and over the years the number of times we were told “you should have been here last year” left us needing to keep looking.
That search is ow over and we’ve found the place that we will make into our home – Here is the story of our recent move from Toowoomba to Benalla in August at the height of the Pandemic …





















Great photos + essay!

An epic journey in crazy times. Glad it ended well. It was great to spend some time with you both up here in Toowoomba, and hope we can get down your way one day. Best, Rob.
