Brumbies of Kosciuszko

The Brumbies of Kosciuszko have worked their way into Australian culture. They personify the wilderness of the Australian alpine landscape, where they’ve made their home, and have even worked their way into Australia’s recent folklore in Banjo Paterson’s “The Man from Snowy River”.

Two years ago, after a couple of chance encounters with the Brumbies in Australia's Kosciuszko National Park, I started taking my film equipment with me to capture some shots of the famous horses to show friends and family back home. Being from an equine background I was able to appreciate their struggle and their behaviours perhaps more than most who stopped to marvel at the Brumbies, this may have even helped my patience while sitting in the grass for hours on end until I gained their trust enough to get some shots of their natural behaviour.
