Mount Hayes, Western Arthur Range, southwest Tasmania
A tannin-stained creek winds through a remote alpine herbfield, high in the Western Arthur ranges.
Mt. Hayes is located in the Western Arthur ranges, in Tasmania’s remote South West. The range is characterised by pale-grey Quartzite that has been shaped by glaciation into wide hanging valleys, stark peaks and large areas of accumulated glacial debris. Wet button-grass plains and eucalypt forests grow on and around the ranges. The weather is unpredictable and forbidding; it rains six out of ten days in summer.
This image is one of the last taken by Peter Dombrovskis. It was in his camera when his body was recovered in the Western Arthurs in 1996. The police gave the camera to Chris Bell, instead of delivering it to the coroner who could have exposed the film and destroyed the image. This nonstandard and thoughtful decision on the part of the police saved the photo for posterity.
Pigment ink print on archival Canson Platine fibre rag paper, 100% cotton.
The images by Peter Dombrovskis have been through an exhaustive remastering process. The high resolution scans from the National Library have been painstakingly retouched to remove embedded dust and scratches. To ensure accurate colour rendition, they have been referenced against publications that Peter was proud of and the prints have been checked and approved by Liz Dombrovskis. The images are printed with pigment ink on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper. These prints will last over 100 years and are amongst the most archival processes currently available. Remastered by fine art printer, Simon Olding, exclusively for Wild Island Tasmania.
