For the recent photography exhibition, The Never Never, two leading New York photographers explored the spectacular landscapes of Australian Wildlife Conservancy's Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary in the Kimberley and Mount Zero-Taravale Wildlife Sanctuary in tropical north Queensland.
The exhibition, showcasing the work of Christopher Griffith and Daniel King, was a one-night-only event held late last year in support of Friends of Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) and showcased at a unique pop-up space in New York's NoLita neighborhood.
“I had heard people talk about the majesty of outback Australia but I never imagined it would profoundly impact me in the way it has. It is captivating, inspiring and it has a mystery that literally draws you in,” said Christopher Griffith.

The trip highlighted AWC’s active land management in order to protect and save endangered wildlife such as the gouldian finch, northern quoll and Sharman’s rock wallaby.
“The places I visited and the wildlife I encountered was extraordinary, literally from another world. It was as though time had stood still, the landscapes were untouched and had a sense of purity. Without organizations like Australian Wildlife Conservancy, this would be lost and to all our detriment,” said Daniel King.
