Gallery: Changing landscapes of climate change
Australian photographer Michael Hall became interested in photographing the effects of climate change seven years ago.

Here he covers the 2009 bushfires in Victoria; the effects of the Millennium Drought on Lake Hume the NSW and Vic. border; and, the impact of changing temperatures on Iceland’s snowy landscapes.

Ron and Elizabeth Morrison where some of the first ’60s freelance news photographers in Australia, and here are some images from their book Those Were the Days: Australia in the sixties.
