BIRGITTA WOLFGANG DREYER
This Danish photographer has travelled the world for
more than 20 years documenting beautiful houses,
including a family home in Provence on page 56.
What did you like about photographing this house? The way the light enters each room, and how the owner mixed ifferent materials and textures — and the location! Do you like to spend time in the country? I love walking in the woods with my children and our dogs — we also love to go bike riding too.

Hobart-based stylist loved the “utter
calm” pervading the converted
apartments of a 19th-century mansion.
What is your favourite country town? South Arm in Tasmania. At the milk bar there’s a blackboard announcing births, deaths and marriages. My older sister lives in South Arm and my nephew’s name
was up on the board when he was born.
What is your favourite country journey?
The Midland Highway from Hobart to Launceston.
It’s barren, with lots of rolling hills and dead trees
and sky; I find it meditative and comforting.
CRAIG WALL
Our staff photographer drove west for a day for
our story on Kookawood in Rydal NSW, which is
featured on page 102.
