Namadgi Bushfire
In 2020, I was documenting an expedition to complete the first human-powered vertical crossing of Australia. I captured the images in the Namadgi National Park near Canberra, ACT. It was closed to the public due to the unprecedented bushfire that had devastated the area, but we were invited to visit by Brett McNamara, the park manager.
The scene could only be described as apocalyptic, absolute devastation. But it was the silence that struck me first. We just stood there in the middle of the road, surrounded by dead white limbs thrusting up from the ground like giant skeletal fingers. No bird calls, no buzzing insects, no rustling leaves. Just suffocating silence.
For me these images depict the bleak reality of how human actions are leading to the destruction of our home, and it could well be a glimpse into what the future could hold for the Earth.
