Samuel McMath, Great Southern-er Land (LANDSCAPE 2026)

This series explores the varied character of Tasmania’s southern landscapes, where wilderness, water and city exist in close proximity. From the rugged peaks of Cradle Mountain to the working harbour of Hobart, and the sweeping view from Kunanyi / Mount Wellington down across the Derwent estuary, the images trace a visual journey through the island’s geography. Together they highlight the interplay between natural forms and human settlement: ancient peaks, sheltered waterways and a small capital city shaped by both. Each frame captures a different vantage point within the same southern landscape, revealing how Tasmania’s identity is defined as much by its dramatic terrain as by the communities that occupy it.
