An Outback Life

Photography helped me view the bush differently. The flat, dry, barren landscape I first saw was replaced with a kaleidoscope of colour, magnificent light and texture from red dirt to sapphire skies – long roads, small towns and incredible people.

An Outback Life captures the heart-warming stories and stunning photography of Australia's wide brown land, as well as the people and animals who make it their home. Award-winning photographer Paula Heelan presents the beauty, drama, and romance of the outback in this remarkable book.

Through more than 200 photographs, anecdotes, and stories, Heelan shares life in remote communities and stations. From agricultural shows to rodeos, campdrafting to country races, and livestock to life in the wet, the book showcases the joys, trials, and tribulations of everyday life, alongside the grandeur and unforgiving nature of the Australian landscape.

Living on a station in Queensland, Paula Heelan brings a deep understanding of life in remote communities to her exploration of the land's importance and the unique connection between the animals and people who inhabit it.
