AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURE

A pictorial celebration of Australia as seen through the eyes of people working on the land.

In March 2013, Dan McIntosh had an idea. A station cook and keen photographer, he wanted to share the pictures he had taken of the outback life he loved so much. Encouraged by his sister, he started a community Facebook page called Station Photos. Dan wasn’t expecting much but within days the bush telegraph kicked in and pretty soon thousands of people were liking and contributing their own photos to the page. A year on, Station Photos had almost 50,000 followers and a staggering 30 million views from around the world.

What people love so much about Station Photos is that it’s real. Real people taking photos on their phones and cameras of what makes them laugh (and cry), the land they love, their kids, their mates and their animals. It’s a way of life that most Australians – living in the cities and along the coast – never get to experience, yet it embodies so much of the spirit and folklore of Australia.
