Willie the Camel Man

William Cooma, Thargomindah, Qld 1995

I met Willie in 1995 on assignment for Australian Geographic Magazine. The following images were made at Thyangra Station, 50km South-West of Thargomindah. In very sad circumstances Willie passed away earlier this year. In my very short time spent with Willie I found a very humble man who loved life.
