Central Queensland Project
Central Queensland Project. A photographic exploration of a region in transition
Given the complexity of the modern economy, and the insularity of city life, many of us are becoming blind to the reality of what lies beyond the city limits. The Central Queensland Project is a photographic exploration of a little heard from, but economically powerful region.
Initially drawn to the unique visual characteristics of the area: cane fields, minescapes, impeccable suburban lawns, and the vastness of the land, the authors soon became aware of a transition taking place. As always, there is a generational change, but is there also an ideological one?
