Stuart Bell, THREE WISE MEN (PEOPLE 2024)

By pure chance, I had stopped at the Pardoo Roadhouse for fuel as a Cultural & Lore Group of men, young and old, from the Bidyadanga Community 180km south of Broome pulled in for the same thing. They were gathered in the red dirt away from the roadhouse and I thought there may be a chance for a photoshoot, I was headed to Cape Keraudren to shoot sea scapes, only one way to find out! A chat to Louie who seemed to be running the show and with camera in hand everyone wanted their photo taken! These three wonderful elders Goney, Robert & Mervin were happy to move away from the group for a more formal juncture. An incredible meeting of cultures and circumstance.
