Various Castlemaine vistas are featured in a new photo book by talented Melbourne photographer Warren Kirk.
Beyond Suburbia has been published via Scribe Publications and hit bookstores earlier this month.
Author and screenwriter Don Watson says that in the margins between the city and the bush, Kirk uncovers the quiet poetry of Victoria’s hinterlands.
“These richly textured photographs capture the overlooked buildings, people, and landscapes of rural and semi-rural Australia. Meticulously observed and rendered with enormous sensitivity, this collection is more than a photographic journey — it’s an elegiac meditation on place, people, and memory. Kirk continues his remarkable project of preserving vanishing Australian scenes, inviting viewers to witness the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane.”
Warren Kirk has been a documentary photographer for more than 30 years. His previous books are the acclaimed Westography (2016), Suburbia (2018), and Northside (2020).
