Interpreter -Cate Kennedy

"South coast holidays late 1980s, in the days before backpacker hostels, designated campgrounds and debt. Dawn swims. A station wagon with a cassette deck. No 4G, no instagramming yourself, no rush. Just singing songs with your arm out the window and that small universe the two of you made inside the tent when you switched the torch on. This photo made me suddenly nostalgic for all of it."
