Ungarie

I started documenting the town of Ungarie (located on Wiradjuri Country) and its surrounding areas in 2017. At first, I focussed on narratives such as the decline of small country towns and the politics surrounding farming, but I soon found my focus shift to my personal connection to the people and place. My great grandfather moved to Australia from the Orkney Islands in 1922 where he took up a soldier settler block in Ungarie and had a family. The current iteration of this series of work is arranged non-sequentially and includes images taken by the generations of women in my family. It is an ongoing series.
