The opening up of northern Western Australia to mining exploration in the 1960s also opened up this terrain to artists – both literally by providing easier ways to access it physically by car and air, and imaginatively as a ‘new world’ to discover. Australian artists Russell Drysdale, Guy Grey-Smith, Robert Juniper, Sidney Nolan and many others travelled through the area at this time, and their practice often changed significantly as a result.
