When I was asked by close friend Nathan McNeil to accompany him photographing a car rally across Australia I thought ‘what do I know about cars, or even the country’. All I’d ever known during my Australian travels was visiting our vast coastline. Little did I know that five years on I’d have travelled nearly 100,000km through the desert and forged many great friendships along the way. The rallies raise much needed funds for the Cancer Council of Australia and the participants have to be among the most selfless people I have ever met. I’ve grown to love each moment in the dust, as I do spending time on the beach and I can’t wait to see where this years Rallies take us.
