Mick’s Ute

“Mick’s Ute” is a captivating print by renowned Australian landscape photographer, Karl Monaghan. This piece speaks to the quiet resilience and history encapsulated in a graveyard of yesteryear’s vehicles, awaiting restoration on a small holding in the Chapman Valley. The landscape is bathed in the subdued hues of twilight, while the scattered vehicles add a touch of nostalgia and intrigue. It’s an intriguing scene that pulls you in, inviting you to explore each vehicle’s story, each dent, rust, and faded paint hinting at a rich past of service and adventure.

Set against the backdrop of Chapman Valley, the photograph gives off a unique charm that combines the untamed beauty of the Australian landscape with the special pull we all feel when we see classic cars. The Chapman Valley which is predominantly broadacre agricultural areas, is resplendent in its pristine coastline and vibrant wildflowers. This regional setting provides a colourful contrast to the enduring relics of automotive history often found in Australia’s vast agricultural expanse.
