Extraordinary photographs, by some of Australia’s best established and emerging photographers, showing the harshness and beauty of the Australian landscape in drought. In particular these images show the effect of the drought on people in rural and urban communities around the country.

Exhibition Patron and 2008 Australian of the Year Lee Kernaghan said, ‘The impact of this drought on people, the land, businesses and communities has been terrible. It’s been relentless and people are doing it tough. The photographers of this exhibition have taken the time to get to know people in those communities and documented their stories, so we can be reminded of what’s happening across our county.’
