As One (2010) Tributaries of Warburton River, South Australia
Opposite and above: Like a giant maze spilling
across the landscape, a myriad of minor
creeks find their way to the lowest point where
they become ‘as one’. A great metaphor for
what has now become the ‘river of
consciousness’. People begin a movement
independently, which then forms one powerful
collective. In this case, the many tributaries
combine as Warburton Creek (opposite above),
which then takes a 400 kilometre journey
culminating in the flooding of Lake Eyre
(opposite centre and below). The change the
water brings to this arid landscape is one of the
most stunning natural events I have ever
witnessed.
