Julie Kenny, Branches of Boranup (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

The rusty dirt road disappears through the Karri trees as the setting sun highlights the forest canopy. Boranup Karri Forest is unique for its proximity to the coast. This is the furthest west that the tall pale-barked karri trees grow. Karris can reach 60 metres or more in height and cover the hilly slopes and valleys of the forest. Boranup is an Aboriginal word that means “place of the male dingo” and the forest lies in the land of the Wadandi (people of the Wadan, the ocean spirit).
