Here's a story we captured for @roadbossmagazine in the remote North Queensland town of Weipa. It follows Heart of Australia on an epic multi-day barge voyage around Cape York Peninsula and it’s 26-metre, state-of-the-art medical clinic on wheels, HEART 5, while it performs its life saving medical procedures.

Cameras: Jeremy Virag
Producer/Director/Editor: Josh Thies Pictures

NEW WORK: What an epic adventure it was shooting this editorial work for @roadbossmagazine and the @heartofaust Heart5 truck in remote Weipa gulf country.

The Heart5 medical truck, is a world first. Being the only truck with a battery powered CT scanner on board, it provides life saving medical procedures for people in far flung communities.

It was a pleasure and privilege to work with the ROADBOSS team, documenting the operations and ‘Indiana Jones-like’ quest of transporting this one of a kind vehicle, by barge, from Cairns around the Cape to Weipa.

Video story to come.

Looking forward to getting back out here soon....

Reminiscing over this amazing shoot for @stemdesignflorals in the always stunning Moreton Bay. We pushed the boundaries to the point of a fairly risky high-tide wrap. 🦈 ⁠⁠

Street portrait, Anonymous. Alice Springs 2021.
"Let no one say the past is dead. The past is all about us and within. Haunted by tribal memories, I know this little now, this accidental present is not the all of me, whose long making is so much of the past...a thousand thousand campfires in the forest are in my blood. Let none tell me the past is wholly gone..." . Oodgeroo Noonuccal, from her poem 'The Past'.

‘BUSH’ is a socio-cultural study on outback Queenslanders in 2020." By photographer @samthies .⁠
⁠
"Those who maintain a strong sense of community connection, mutual respect and shared purpose.⁠
⁠
Far from a nostalgic, rose-tinted view of traditional Australian life, this is a story of quiet, positive evolution.⁠
⁠
‘BUSH’ encapsulates this spirit through documentary portraiture and photographic storytelling in a large format, meticulously crafted coffee table book."⁠
⁠
It was a special privilege to go along for the ride with such a talented crew. I'm extremely proud of @samthies ' vision and execution on this project.

Here's what a one minute breakdown of the trip looks like...⁠

The old man and the sea. Taylor's Beach, FNQ 2020.
It was a priveledge to hit the open ocean with 'Uncle' Lloyd in his trusty old tinnie and pull in these three massive mackerel, literally by hand. No rods, no computerised fish finder no gps just a lifetime of experience in these waters, a bamboo pole, two bike inner tubes attached to two lines with two metal lures. Within an hour we were heading back with a full esky. 👌🏽
