Between 2017 and 2019, a severe and historical drought developed across much of eastern and inland Australia including Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, also extending into parts of South and Western Australia. These photographs directly relate to the 'Drought in New South Wales Oral History Project', conducted by Whelan during the same period.

Louise Whelan is a photographer and oral historian who works across a range of fields including documentary, corporate and fine art photography. Much of her practice draws inspiration from environmental and humanitarian issues, and her interest in the aesthetic of memory. Louise is widely published and exhibited. She has more than 30 national and international awards to her name including Winner, Julia Margaret Cameron Award UK(Documentary and Editorial), Finalist, National Portrait Prize Australia (2012 and 2013, 2016) and The Head On Portrait Prize 2011.
