The landscapes of the Monaro and Snowy Mountains regions are inscribed with the various (and often conflicting) narratives of a range of people - the original Ngarigo people, explorers, artists, settlers, pastoralists, builders of the Snowy hydro scheme, conservationists, adventure sports enthusiasts. All view the land as in some way their own. In these images, fragments of the contending narratives take on physical presence.
