Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia; January 2006

Emma at the farm

This is my sister Emma, age three, at the family farm in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. It’s a beautiful part of the world with rolling hills and is quite evocative of parts of England and Ireland - although in this photo the drought is much in evidence. Emma is sitting on the hay bales, about 100 metres from the house, dressed her favourite pink dress and boots. You can also see my father striding down the field on the left hand side. This was a weekend property when this photo was taken but my dad and his wife and my small sister and brother have now moved down from Sydney full time.
