For a couple of years now I have been commuting along a route that takes me past the Barker Inlet Wetlands and the Wingfield Waste and Recycling Centre. I’d noticed the windmills, the prolific bird life and the sights and smells of a civic rubbish dump but in my head I was already at my day job.

Then the roadworks began. The speed limits dropped. I was forced to linger along the route. The more I lingered the more I saw, the more I wanted to see and capture. I’ve now discovered a huge network of wetlands and am only just beginning to explore them.

It’s the windmills I first noticed so that’s where I’ll start.
