This exhibition presents photojournalist Lance Nelson’s first decade working for magazines such as Walkabout, covering human interest stories throughout the 1960’s.

Nelson travelled widely on assignment to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and other South Pacific countries. This led to a project photographing the small town of Boggabri in Northwest New South Wales, where he focused on the lives of three generations of one family.

The Lance Nelson photographic archive, encompassing his entire career working as a documentary, freelance, commercial, corporate and stock photographer, is held in the National Library of Australia in Canberra.

Opening Event: Saturday 21 October, 2 – 4pm.
