A desolate yet visually rich landscape of abandoned Australia is characterized by barren red deserts dotted with post-colonial ghost towns, dilapidated inner-city factories, discarded country homesteads, and a succession of dormant, soot-filled power stations. Shane Thoms, a photographer, delves beneath the sun-baked soil to uncover the modern ruins scattered across this arid continent, revealing a series of beautifully broken abodes hidden in the crevices of the Great Southern Land. These atmospheric scenes whisper of long-gone happy family moments and human darkness, of working lives and the everyday pursuits of living, allowing us to reconstruct the stories of the past.

Prompting conversations about a growing, diverse country with a complicated history, these abandoned places both connect and contrast the past and the present, and chronicle the hidden remnants of the evolving Australian story.
