About the artwork:
This Polaroid captures a small, corrugated iron and weatherboard-clad cottage situated in the once-thriving township, now all but abandoned. The structure, weathered by time and silence, stands as a spectral witness to the fevered aspirations of the Gold Rush era.
Hill End is one of NSW few remaining 'Ghost Towns', primarily settlements that boomed during different Gold Rushes, and consequently dwindled as luck ran dry.
Taken on stolen Wiradjuri Land.
