GALLERY: Portraits of pachyderms

A celebration of elephants for World Elephant Day, seen through the lens of acclaimed Australian photographer Bobby-Jo Clow.

Elephants are enormous, unmistakable — and irreplaceable. No other creature has such a long-shared history with humanity while remaining largely undomesticated. But today, despite 4000 years of coexistence, we seem determined to destroy them. It’s estimated that a wild elephant is lost to the world every 15 minutes.

From the rusty, red plains of Tsavo to the lush, green forests of northern Thailand, Bobby-Jo has captured every aspect of elephant life — from first step to untimely death — in her book Reflections of Elephants. Her astonishing images have been paired with the words of writers, poets, scientists, conservationists, students and everyday people, to produce unique reflections of this most iconic animal.

Early Victoria: Bushfires, gold rushes and sad bushrangers

FROM VICTORIA'S GOLD RUSHES to its bushrangers, English artist William Strutt's (1825-1915) paintings captured the state's colonial history in vivid scenes and sketches. William arrived at Melbourne in 1850 and began work as an illustrator painting portraits of people such as explorer Robert O'Hara Burke, who's famous expedition with William John Wills ended in their tragic deaths. William illustrated the scenes around Burke's demise in the epic 'The burial of Burke' (1911). He also recorded many historical events such as Victoria becoming a separate state and the devastating Victorian bushfire on Black Thursday in 1851. His paintings depict the hardship of colonial life, exploration and the dangers of the environment.

His oil paintings, watercolours, portraits, prints and preparatory sketches will be on display at 'Heroes and villains: Strutt's Australia' exhibition at the State Library of Victoria until 23 October 2016. The exhibition is the first retrospectives of William's work in Melbourne, it includes pop-up talks of three of his well-known paintings; 'Bushrangers' (1887), 'The burial of Burke' (1911) and 'Black Thursday' (1864).
