Martin Hawes began walking in the Tasmanian wilds in his early teens, shortly after his family emigrated from the UK. After studying pure maths at Australian National University he devoted several years to wilderness photography, producing his first book Above me only sky in 1981. For the past four decades he has continued to explore and photograph wilderness, mostly in Tasmania, while working as a seasonal track labourer, track monitoring officer, teacher, writer, wilderness consultant, and wilderness researcher. He is the author of four books, of which his latest, Unexplored, is his second devoted exclusively to the Tasmanian wilds. Copies of Unexplored are available for sale in a number of bookshops, galleries and other outlets around Tasmania. You can learn more at www.martinhawes.info.
