Drover: a celebration of Bruce Simpson’s outback. Bruce Simpson. 2014.

Based on Where the Outback Drovers Ride, the much-loved memoir of bushman and drover Bruce Simpson, Drover celebrates a way of life that has all but vanished - and records how it’s changed with time.

From saddling up at dawn, through long days of heat, dust and sheer hard graft working cattle, to evenings spent joking around te campfire; and from rodeos to relaxing with a beer in the town, photographer Darren Clark was there to record contemporary outback life.

In doing so he has captured the spirit of Bruce Simpson’s yarns and memories in more than one hundred images of the historic properties, landscapes, droving routes, towns and people of outback Northern Territory and Queensland.
