FARMER HERDS CATTLE IN OUTBACK QUEENSLAND
Sun rises as a farmer rides his horse whilst herding his cattle towards
stockyards near the outback Queensland town of Aramac, 1200 km (720 miles)
west of Brisbane May 22, 2002. A dramatic rise in Australias currency as
its economy booms has left commodity producers worried over potential losses
of hundreds of millions of dollars in export revenues. Cattle prices are at
their lowest in 22 months, with the National Farmers Federation commodity
price index for May showing that a 4.6 percent rise in the Australian dollar
reduced farm prices by 4.9 percent. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE REUTERS/David Gray

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the sun gracefully ascends over the vast expanse of Outback Queensland as a determined farmer takes charge. Mounted on his trusted horse, he skillfully herds his cattle towards the stockyards near Aramac, a remote town located 1200 km west of Brisbane. The year is 2002, and Australia's thriving economy has caused its currency to soar, triggering concerns among commodity producers about potential losses in export revenues. Amidst this backdrop of economic uncertainty, the plight of farmers becomes evident. Cattle prices have plummeted to their lowest point in nearly two years, with the National Farmers Federation commodity price index for May revealing a significant decline due to a 4.6 percent rise in the Australian dollar. As they navigate through these challenging times, farmers like our protagonist face an uphill battle to sustain their livelihoods. Photographer David Gray masterfully captures both the beauty and struggle within this image. The golden hues of dawn illuminate the scene while emphasizing the resilience etched onto our farmer's face. His stoic determination symbolizes not only his personal journey but also that of countless others who rely on agriculture for survival. This poignant snapshot serves as a reminder that behind every economic boom lies individuals whose lives are deeply intertwined with nature's rhythms and market forces beyond their control. It invites us to reflect upon the delicate balance between progress and its impact on those who work tirelessly under wide-open skies like these.
