Karen Brook’s photography showcases the Australian outback in shades of red, blue, green and all the local colour of its pubs, festivals and locals.

Brook is most notably the official photographer for the Birdsville Races and with the next event pending in September this year, her photos might just be the drawcard to get you driving the 2000km (or more depending where you live) to the outback town for a horse race in the desert.

The team at Blue Dog sure know how to capture the essence of the Australian outback with their images of sand dunes, gibbers, rivers, floodplains, spinifex, beef cattle, channel country and inland wetlands.

Nick and Danielle Lancaster are the working directors of the Blue Dog operation and run tours to some of their favourite spots in Queensland.

One of their most celebrated works is the 84 page “Out Around the Bulloo” photographic book featuring images from a corner of outback Queensland – the Bulloo Shire. The celebrated book captures the geographic character of the area plus some of the human and animal inhabitants too.
