mountain huts.
OUT PAST THE LAST SERVICE STATION, THE ROAD THINS. THEN RISES. THEN DISAPPEARS INTO BUSH.
i’d headed to the tasmanian central highlands to photograph the majestic miena cider gums — endemic and endangered — but found myself equally entranced by the weathered huts scattered through the landscape. set against the stillness of alpine lakes and open scrub, these shacks have stood for generations. some are patched and re-patched. others lean quietly. their doors barely hanging on.
no interiors. no people. just remnants, resilience, and rhythm.
photographed during summer, this series sits within a broader personal project documenting how seasonal shifts shape tasmania’s high country. while not created on commission, the imagery could be valuable for editorial features, regional tourism or small accommodation operators looking to convey the atmosphere of place — especially those off-grid or nestled deep in nature.
there’s a story in every roofline and rusted water tank — and for businesses grounded in heritage, conservation, or rural experience these are the visual cues that speak.
