sweet as...

A powerful exposure of the strong structures and rich colours behind Queensland’s sugar industry

sweet as . . . is a multimedia photographic exhibition that celebrates the sugar industry as a central part of life in regional Queensland. A fascinating contradiction to the sweetness of sugar, the images reveal the robust industrial world within the sugar mills of the Wide Bay/Burnett region. Rugged millers, tireless machinery and roaring cane fires illustrate the gruelling work behind Queensland’s sugary sweet lifeblood.

The photographs are complemented by a DVD, Sweet Sounds of a Sugar Town, featuring audio-visual compositions inspired by the sights and sounds of the Bundaberg sugar industry.
