Amanda Thatcher, Lost Boy (PEOPLE 2025)

While photographing wildlife with the family in tow at Kuitpo Forest I noticed one of our kids, the nearly teenager, was no longer with us. I backed up the track to find him on a log taking in the nature around him. I joked about him being a Lost Boy and if he's lucky Peter Pan will be coming for him soon. We all had a laugh as we continued our path together as a family.
