Photographer, Nic Walker’s intention in creating a portrait of Stan Grant and Tracey Holmes for 'Australian Love Stories' was to ‘document their story of love and connection, culture and place’. The portrait was taken on the Yarrangobilly River, at a site that was a meeting place for Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri people. It's a place where Stan’s Wiradjuri heritage connects with Tracey’s link to her Chinese forebear, who settled in the district in the nineteenth century. In this short documentary, Wedge-Tail Pictures capture the story behind the portrait and how it was created. The portrait is currently on display in the 'Australian Love Stories' exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery of Australia: https://www.portrait.gov.au/exhibitions/australian-love-stories-2020 [Stan Grant and Tracey Holmes, c. 2020 by Nic Walker.

Over the years, the tropical island nation of Vanuatu has struggled with its attempts to eliminate single-use plastics, but thanks to an extensive campaign, the country is about to implement one of the toughest plastic bans in the world. Last year it banned drinking straws, plastic bags and styrofoam, but by December 2019 it will have added all single-use plastics to the list (ahead of the EU next year).
