Betts Corner Homeland
View of Priscilla Hubert's home at Betts Corner Homeland, Ceduna. The photographer describes the homeland, "Betts Corner homeland was the last homeland to be built around the Ceduna region with ATSIC money and as result it is a very basic settlement. The day I visited Priscilla Hubert's house with Shelly I was very fortunate to be invited into her house for a cup of tea and make some images of the children. On average there is fifteen people living in this three bedroom house and when extended family and friends come to visit this can swell to thirty people. Once inside the house I found it to be very clean and orderly, all the children played beautifully together, Priscilla took me into the main bedroom where the kids were all watching Video Hits on TV and dancing. This was an amazing experience and I found it very rewarding to make images of this family group and give them some photographs to hang on their walls. An hour before going to Betts Corner I was two kilometers down the road at the Ceduna MotorX track where the South Australian State Titles were being held. The contract between the children at Betts Corner and the children at the track was stark. The kids at the track were dressed in the latest gear, riding motorbikes worth thousands of dollars, and their parents were camping in upmarket caravans towed by the latest 4WD's."
Koonibba Lutheran Church
Koonibba Lutheran Church. The photographer describes the Community, "The Koonibba Community is located in the vicinity of an Aboriginal ceremonial ground and traditional meeting place. The community was established in 1898 at a time when land on the west coast of South Australia was shifting from pastoralism to agriculture, it was originally a Lutheran Mission. The place now consists of a small township, surrounding land and the area around the Koonibba Rockhole. The township comprises administration buildings, the old Mission Church of the redeemer, community housing, school, childcare centre, hall, health clinic, workshop and various other buildings. Most of the existing structures are associated with the early phases of the Lutheran Mission. The area is 850ha, just off the Eyre Highway and 8km NNW of the township of Koonibba, 25km north west of Ceduna. On the day that these images where made I was lucky enough to record a number of resident tradesmen building new, and repairing old, community homes. I was also allowed to record some of the students from the primary school and in the childcare centre."

New indigenous housing being built in Oodnadatta
New indigenous housing being built in Oodnadatta. The builders that can be seen are Trevor Upton and Paul Grima. The photographer comments, "When I was in Oodnadatta in January 2013 there was a team of builders from Pimba Building Contractors Pty Ltd who, along with some of the local indigenous builders, were building six new homes for local indigenous families to move into. A lot of the older housing around Oodnadatta is in poor condition and these new houses are in desperate need, they are of basic design with tin wall throughout, air conditioning, and wide verandas to protect from the grueling summer sun."

Pink Roadhouse, Oodnadatta
Inside the Pink Roadhouse at Oodnadatta. The photographer writes about the Roadhouse, "In January 2013 whilst exploring the outback of South Australia, I made my way back into the Painted Desert to the historical town of Oodnadatta for the second time. After about three hours of travel I finally reached the junction with the actual Oodnadatta track which is just a short distance outside the township of Oodnadatta, I turned left and was greeted by one of the Oodnadatta progress associations signs which declares that you are now in Australia's hottest and driest town (to my understanding that title belongs to Marble Bar in Western Australia). Oodnadatta is a small one street town with the Transcontinental Hotel, the closed General Store and the Pink Roadhouse on one side and the old railway line and the fascinating Railway Museum on the other side. You can walk from one end of town to the other in less than five minutes. The Pink Roadhouse is the social heart of the town with a continuous buzz of people coming and going all day long as they go about their daily business. When I was in town for the first time in early September 2012, the owner of the Pink Roadhouse Lynnie Plate, had lost her husband Adam two weeks before in a car accident and the whole of the South Australian Outback community was still in shock. Adam was a pioneer in the true sense of the word, he was a maverick who refused to conform. There are hundreds of 44 gallon drum lids and signs across the outback, secured to star droppers all with the Pink Roadhouse emblazoned across them as well as other insightful pieces of local knowledge of otherwise unknown history about the location. These rustic, handwritten unauthorized signs are now a tribute to Adam, and remain as a testament to the outback spirit that he embodied and are a constant reminder of the character who opened this region up. I returned for the second time in January 2013 once everything had settled down a bit, I made my camp directly behind the Pink Roadhouse in a dusty, and very hot block of land that has been turned into a Caravan Park, this allowed me to move in and out of the Pink Roadhouse and gain a feel for the place during different times of the day. When I entered the roadhouse I was greeted by three Irish Back packers who where running the kitchen and register whilst Lynnie Plate ran the Post Office. I found that trying to work with Lynnie was an extremely challenging thing to do due to the fact that everyone in the roadhouse felt it their duty to shield her from any outsider and I was forced to wait two days before I was granted an audience with her early one morning at day break. It was a very somber affair with Lynnie sitting crying as she drank her morning coffee explaining to me how the roadhouse had lost its soul since Adam's death. I sat quietly and listened to her story whilst making images as the morning sun slowly illuminated the interior of the roadhouse. I found myself staring up at the rafters which have dozens of old horse shoes hanging from them as Lynnie told me that the Pink Roadhouse's name came from a cement truck company which was called 'Think Pink', she also went on to explain how when her and Adam had first come to town there was nowhere to have a cup of coffee and a sandwich so they set out to change that and started the Tuckerbox and as they say in the classics, the rest is history. The Pink Roadhouse is here to make you smile said Lynnie, the store has expanded to include heavy transport, roadside assistance, mail deliveries, a caravan park and post office and most importantly a toll free phone for travellers trying to deal with misfortunes.
Inside the William Creek Hotel
Interior of the William Creek Hotel. The photographer comments, "I arrived in William Creek at 2pm when the heat was at its most intense, naturally I made my way into the bar of the William Creek Hotel where I sort relief from the hostile environment outside. Like a lot of Outback hotels, the timber and corrugated iron pub, which dates back to 1887, has a bar which looks like a giant visitors' book, due to the fact that over the years it has been adorned with business cards, hand scrawled notes, bras, jocks and anything else not nailed down. The Hotel started out as a boarding house circa 1886, then it became a store, wine bar, and once again a boarding house shortly thereafter. There are no records that have been found telling of when it became a hotel. The bar in the William Creek Hotel was originally the bar of the Coward Springs Hotel. When I was there in January the back room of the hotel was full of workers of different nationalities who were employed by the big mining companies to drilling test holes each night searching for the next big mother load, they were all seated around a table quietly chatting to one another as they eat their evening meals. I was surprised by the small amount of alcohol being consumed by the mine workers who normally have a reputation as being big drinkers (as I saw in Western Australia's Pilbara region). One of the workers later told me on an average night he and his fellow worker consumed 12 litres of water a night just to try and stay hydrated and that consuming alcohol was not an option due to the fact that it knocked you around to much whilst working in the desert. The Hotel is presently run by Trevor Wright, who is the un-official mayor of William Creek due to the fact that he owns every building in town. Trevor is also the founder and most senior pilot for Wright Air, a small airline that specializes in outback scenic flights, Aboriginal Art tours and air craft charter from William Creek and Coober Pedy. William Creek is the closest town to Lake Eyre, so of course Wright Air typically spends most of it's time taking tourists on flights over Lake Eyre and the surrounding region."

World War 1 letter written on pelican pouch skin and a history of Pompoota.
World War 1 letter, written by 'Jack' to brother 'Hal', who may have been on active duty in France. Also of interest is the material the letter has been written on; pelican bill or pouch skin. The letter reads, "21 April 1918. Pompoota, River Murray, South Australia. Dear Hal, This is rather bad paper, not exactly cream laid, you see it happens to be a bit of pelican pouch, stretched and dried. There are hundreds of these birds on the swamps now. Their wings measure 6 ft from tip to tip. Things seems to be in a bad state in France just now hope the position will soon improve. Am enquiring about ostrich farming will let you know the result later. Your aff(ectionate) brother, Jack." Also comprising 'The Pompoota Story', a detailed history written by an unrelated author and local of the Pompoota area, A.E. Denman(Service no. 3735 Private Albert Edward Denman, 51st Infantry Battalion), in 1987. The document is a typescript historical background of Pompoota (an Aboriginal word meaning 'the end of the tide'), which was established in 1916 by the South Australian government, as a horticultural training farm especially for the rehabilitation and retraining of returned soldiers. It was situated on the left bank of the Murray River, between Mannum and Murray Bridge, South Australia.

Governor Hindmarsh's Proclamation jigsaw puzzle
A jigsaw puzzle in colour depicting a painting of Governor Hindmarsh's Proclamation on 28th December 1836. Governor Hindmarsh and other officials stand in the centre, under an old gum tree, with soldiers standing in formation behind, and citizens gathered to watch the ceremony. In the background, a group of Aboriginal people watch the proceedings from a distance. Text from the puzzle: 'Governor Hindmarsh's Proclamation - 1836. on 28th December, 1836, Governor Hindmarsh landed from H.M.S. 'Buffalo' at Holdfast Bay, Glenelg, and the Proclamation establishing the Government of South Australia was read. The ceremony took place near an old gum tree, which together with the land on which it stood, later came into the possession of Mr. John Hector, the first officer of The Savings Bank of South Australia. In 1857, when South Australia came of age, Mr. Hector ceded the property to the Glenelg Corporation so that the historic tree could be preserved as a memorial. Issued by The Savings Bank of South Australia'. On the back of the paper envelope is an advertisement for The Savings Bank of South Australia: 'My Bank' to more than half a million South Australians', with a photograph of the Head Office building in King William Street, Adelaide, and a list of South Australian branch offices.
