Noel Fraser
a disused railway town in the Australian Outback
Noel Fraser has spent his entire life in the vast, open spaces of the Australian Outback, like an anchor in a place others might call forgotten. As the unofficial caretaker of a one-lane parking lot next to a disused railway station, he finds solace in practical work, even as he worries about the town's gradual disappearance. The subtle differences he notices in his travels across Australian states fuel his artistic expression, which seldom sees the light of day, only emerging under the flicker of candlelight.
