“In this photographic essay, Richard Steer records the colours and moods of a remote and inspiring landscape, the Coorong, South Australia.  Observed over time and seasons, the Coorong has at once an enduring but fragile quality; Richard Steer explores this apparent contradiction, making a convincing case for the protection of this wetland sanctuary.  With a poet’s appreciation of form and mood, he captures its low horizons, its contemplative fishermen and the tortured tea-trees of its foreshore.”
