Roy Maddox
a cattle station in the Northern Territory, Australia
Roy Maddox spent decades in the dark, damp coal mines, moving to the Northern Territory after retiring, where he now tends to a remote cattle station. His days unfold to the quiet rhythm of machinery and livestock, the outback expanse his solitude and solace. Everything here breaks as easily as it mends, a lesson he knows all too well from tending to both injured miners and farm animals.
