PHOTOGRAPHY
We’re revisiting a body of work
by renowned photographer
Charles Page, commissioned
by the Cairns Regional Gallery
in 2001. Included in the
Gallery’s Local Colour Local
Lives exhibition, the collection
documented a cross section of
Cairns at a time of change –
100 years after Federation
and at the turn of the century.
What’s changed in the two
decades since?
