The Picture

The sand hills and clay pan at

Lake Everard in the outback

of South Australia have been

a regular overnight stop for

photographer Trevern Dawes

en route from Lake Gairdner to

Coober Pedy.

Over many visits, a collection

of sand scapes have been

captured with a few featuring

in previous Light Works. The

last visit was entirely different

because of recent rain, dark skies

and the threat of more rain. It all

seemed a rather dismal prospect

with the main concern being

the weather that might lock up

the roads for days. As it turned

out some dramatic situations

prevailed with one in particular

emphasising the need to ‘grab it

when you can’.

The Photographer

Trevern Dawes has the rare

distinction of being a contributor

to the very first issue of this
