‘Kunawarr Keeling’
This arial view mosaic is of the internationally significant wetland environment of Lake Connewarre Reserve on the Bellarine Peninsular, Victoria, Australia. You may be able to discern the Barwon River, flowing from the north-west into the vast spread of two interconnected lakes of Reedy Lake and Connewarre, before continuing its flow south-east through the river mouth at Barwon Heads, and into the ocean. In this series of work over 800 individual photographs were taken over two days in summer 2020/21 as I navigated on foot the wetlands of the Reedy and Connewarre lakes, revisiting the sights, sounds, smells and memories I have from my lifetime of connections with this Country.
