Resilience is etched in the face of Queensland farmer Trevor Turner as he strides along a country road ahead of a herd of cattle on what Australians call “the long paddock”. For generations, in times of drought and hardship, farmers have led stock off their land to graze along the roadsides. As bushfires followed drought last year, and the global pandemic made small businesses wish for their own version of the long paddock – a greener pasture of some kind – resilience is a quality conjured by many.
Travel photographers Emilie Ristevski and Jason Charles Hill are no strangers to the unexpected. Their professional and personal partnership has taken them from the icy glaciers of Greenland, to the rarity of a flooded Namibian valley and this year, to their home in Queensland where they find themselves eyeballing the sea turtles and reef sharks of the Great Barrier and Mackay reef one day, and standing at the foot of Lamington National Park s seven thousand year old Antarctic trees the next.
Even so, COVID-19 certainly took them by surprise. When travel is your life s work, a global virus changes the way you view the world, both through the lens and away from it.
