Shelter: How Australians Live Exclusive Signed Copy

Shelter is a best selling interiors photographic book from a year long solo road trip around Australia.

I travelled the country, documenting raw and real interiors and landscapes, and found shelter - under the roofs of beach shacks, grand homesteads, sheep stations and shipping containers, and in the welcome of strangers.

My itinerary was loose and unstructured – I simply followed a conversation around the country, like a bush telegraph. One person would say, ‘Oh, Kara, you must visit my cousin in Tasmania, she has a great hut’, so I would go, and then from there I might be told about a homestead in the red dust of central Queensland, and again, I would follow the conversation.

  1. Perfect Gift for Overseas Friends 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 15th May 2018

    I sent the book to some close friends in New York as a thank you for helping me with a farewell party. I wanted to send something that was meaningful, represented me, and inspired them to come and visit me in Australia one day. When my Sister suggested the book I thought it was perfect and I was so pleased I could add the personalized note to make it extra special! Needless to say my friends loved the book and thought the gift was very thoughtful.

  2. Loved the book! 5 Star Review

    I Just read your book right through in one sitting. Loved it. Now to peruse it more slowly for a second and third time and so on, much more slowly.

  3. Loved your beautiful handiwork 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 28th Mar 2016

    I received "Shelter" yesterday and loved your beautiful handiwork! I grew up in the Western district of Victoria among broken down old shacks of stone, bark or iron and often wondered myself about their history. I found them some captivating, foreign to our time, but not to our identity. Thanks again for offering this work.

  7. captivated by 'Shelter' 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 28th Mar 2016

    I just had to write a review after spending a whole afternoon enthralled and captivated by reading your book “Shelter” and admiring the stunning photographs.
    I first saw the book in a beautiful gift shop in Daylesford while on holidays after Christmas and was immediately drawn to the cover and after flicking through it that day, knew I had to have it!
    I love country drives (hence our trip to Daylesford and surrounding towns such as Creswick, Kyneton and Clunes) and have always loved ramshackle and unique farm houses and farm sheds. I always think they have a certain beauty to them and have often wondered who lived in these often remote places, how do they live and how did they come to be there? You’re book answered some of those questions!
    I’ve often half joked with my husband when driving through country towns that I would one day like to photograph some of these unique places/buildings , document where they were and make a kind of coffee table book. Your book was my dream come true, although I could never take photographs as stunning as yours.
    The book now takes pride of place on my coffee table and I know I will often pick it up and flick through it over the years when I need to be inspired or just need an escape from the everyday and remind myself of the beauty.
    Thanks for such a wonderful book, you should be really proud of it because I love it.

  8. Thank you for Shelter 5 Star Review

    I have just read and enjoyed Shelter. I just wanted to say how delighted I was with your book. My daughter and I smiled at the outdoor bathroom on page 149 and we loved the character of the home on page 139 (and the front cover). Well done/ Keep up the good work....
