Robe, South Australia

Robe and surrounding districts, South Australia.

Joe Mortelliti‘s life long love, from when he was first given a Brownie camera as a boy, was photography. It was the focus of his work life for many years. He loved to travel with his wife Marion to as many parts of Australia as he could. He had the ability to ‘see’ the beauty of our land in such a way that he could photograph it for the delight of others. These photos are a legacy that he has left us. Used by permission and with appreciation.

On seeing the purple expanse of colour we spent some time walking around looking how to capture it as an image, and decided to tie it in with the old stone farm house building.
