Abandoned South Australia: An Arid Journey
Abandoned South Australia: An Arid Journey
By Shane Thoms
If you have travelled through the country areas of SA then you may have noted and wondered about the empty places and not quite ruins. Shane Thoms book of full colour pictures is both moody and informative. No maps in this one but we thought our customers just might be interested.
The ruins of South Australia are barren, isolated time capsules. Starkly contrasting the states bustling city centre, we inhale these ghostly narratives upon the opening of each creaking door.
We explore each abode's past, present and future and engage in necessary discussions about land and space that should always be present in our throats.
A diverse, unique and often unexplored region of the ‘Great Land Down Under’, the visual stories presented here are mere footnotes of South Australia’s complex history.
