Benjamin Hams, 'The backbone industry of Australia' (November theme: Countryside)

I was raised on a farm and from a young age knew the meaning of hard work. Even now when I drive past fields and paddocks filled with live stock and crops I feel the need to tip my hat off to some of the hardest working people Australia knows. It feels nice to go back to my roots every once in a while and reminisce, luckily for me I still have many photographs from my days of living on the land.
