BOGAN’S paradise

When I think of Summer Nationals, I think about burnouts, V8s, mullets, and bogans! Having grown up around speedway, drag racing, and V8s, it has always been on my bucket list to photograph Summernats in Canberra, Australia. With Dad, uncles, and family owning multiple V8 cars, power boats, and Harleys over the years, there’s always been a bit of bogan in my blood. However, what I was to encounter was Boganville on steroids!

The level of the cars, the attention to detail, and the motors higher than the roof that were on display over the four days of this year’s iteration, Summernats 33 (SN33), were really a photographer’s dream! With 2200 vehicles entered, the second-highest count in the event’s history, it would have been easy to just fill the camera card
