This collage began on a houseboat trip in the Hinchinbrook Channel, North Queensland. I took the photo of these mangroves on a small mudbank, and collected the driftwood in the picnic basket, over five gorgeous days with Paul and his family. Mudcrab and fresh fish for dinner, dugong surfacing now and then - a pristine wilderness which we had almost to ourselves. Mangroves have a presence about them, as if they are watching and remembering everything. Their wood is as hard as stone, and their seeds travel all over the world. My favourite trees.
