The Hutchens

Tucked somewhere behind Roma, Qld is the quiet little cattle property that the Hutchens have called home for the last 9 years. The winding driveway from the front gate through the grassy paddocks and over a little creek crossing leads you to their family home.

It’s a scene out of what I used to think all properties looked like in rural Australia, during my childhood spent in the city. Horses quietly grazing nearby, friendly dogs greeting you with kisses and wagging tails, the muted colours of winter brought to life by the red dust we kick up with our boots, as we walk across the paddocks.

The afternoon was spent amongst the company of horses and dogs, soaking up the warm glow of the western Queensland winter sunset.
