Mick Harper
a cattle station in the Northern Territory, Australia
Mick Harper has spent his entire life on a cattle station in the Northern Territory, where he mends boots and maintains fences with the same precision. Raised with the ethos that everything has its place and purpose, he finds solace in solitary rides across endless plains. It's the quiet sound of clocks in distant rooms and the sun-bleached land that fills his mind when he allows himself a moment of reflection, away from the demands of the station.
