Jillian Velinos, Camping on banks of the Murray River (DOCO 2022)

Each year for Easter break, a group of family and friends camp on the banks of the Murray River. Together they share a collective experience of life stripped bare. It's hot, dry and dusty and the flies are enough to drive anyone mad. The children seem oblivious to the discomfort and embrace getting feral with gusto, relishing in the open space and temporary freedoms that come with bush camping.
