THE GALLERY - Gallery One - Cow and Figtree, Norfolk Island
Cow and Figtree, Norfolk Island - AUD$1500
I was shooting Norfolk Island for Ansett Airlines and spent a week covering the island. There’s a place called ‘Bloody Bridge’ where convicts killed their overseer and buried his body in the foundations of the bridge they were building. However blood started seeping out of the stonework and their fate was sealed; they were all hanged. It’s a spooky place.
Above the bridge is this huge figtree, I had to crawl through an electric fence to get to it. My tripod brushed the wire and I got the lot. So by the time I climbed the hill I was feeling pretty sparky.
