2003 Touring the Southwest

WINDMILL

This was taken on a trip to the South-west of Western Australia with a Diana toy camera, near the end of a long, dry summer. I used Ilford HP5 Plus Black & White Film.

I know this is a bit of a visual cliche in Australia, but then in a country that's mostly desert, it's fair enough that the windmill should be a significant icon.

It's a little ironic that the Outback image of Australia is marketed to the world, considering that around 95% of our population live within an hour of the coast and over 90% live in the Capital cities. In reality, we're the most urbanised culture in the world. But then we Australians love irony, so I thought I'd throw this pic in to perpetuate the image.
