The Last Trial

These photographs were taken at the Newdegate Research Station in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt. Once a hub for agricultural research on poor soils, the land now serves as a community crop.

But the station’s homes lie abandoned - quiet remnants of a past era. Through these images, I explore the contrast between land still in use and the domestic spaces left to decay.

It’s a reflection on progress, abandonment, and the traces people leave behind.
