Alice Mabin riding the long paddock

"The long paddock" is the traditional Australian term for the stock routes that crisscross the country, and Alice Mabin has spent years riding these routes alongside drovers. Her work documents a way of life that dates back to the earliest days of Australian settlement.

Alice's intimate knowledge of the long paddock—gained through months of living and working alongside drovers—gives her photography an authenticity that sets her apart. Her images capture the vast landscapes, the skilled horsemanship, and the enduring spirit of those who still move cattle the traditional way.
