Today's guest on the Life on the Land is Edwina Robertson. If you don’t know who that is, there’s a very strong chance you’ve seen one of her photos. Eddie is a wedding photographer whose work is iconic in regional and rural Australia. The ‘queen of dust’ has been shooting weddings in the bush and across the world for eight years, some of which have gone viral globally.

Eddie grew up on a mixed farm outside Deepwater, NSW with her two siblings, mum and stepdad. She was estranged from her biological father, who was tragically killed in a plane accident when she was just 12.

After boarding school, she went on to study fashion in Sydney, before working in real estate in Brisbane. I picked up Eddie’s story in 2013, when she was at a very low point. She had been in what she described a depressive state for four months, since she had found out the guy she thought she

was going to marry had been unfaithful.

Unemployed and with no idea where she wanted to go in life, she sat down and wrote a list of the things she wanted from a career. Four things instantly sprang to mind.
