The open boot of a plain silver station wagon parked at the kerb of a quiet country town main street on a clear morning, seen from behind and slightly to one side so its clean unbranded nose points away from the camera: a single plain closed cardboard carton, a soft canvas bag and a folded striped blanket sitting in the open load space under the raised tailgate, and looking forward through the open rear of the cabin past the empty passenger seat, the steering wheel and the driver's seat sit plainly on the right hand side of the cabin at the right of frame, with a low row of plain single storey shopfronts with awnings and dark empty windows along the left, a leafy street tree, a wide almost empty road and a hint of golden paddocks at the end of the street

A plain unmarked grey work ute parked at the kerb of a quiet suburban Australian street at midday, seen from beside its open driver's door with the vehicle's nose pointing to the right of frame so its right hand driver's side faces the camera: the steering wheel, the driver's seat and the pedals of the near footwell plainly inside the open doorway with the instrument dials visible behind the wheel, and on that front seat a clipboard with faint ruled lines and empty boxes and nothing written on it lying across two plain unmarked cartons, a folded plain orange work vest with reflective stripes, a black pen, a neat coil of cable on the cabin floor and a takeaway coffee cup standing in the pocket of the open door, with a quiet street, a parked box truck and a low brick veneer house soft and out of focus beyond the windscreen

The front porch of an ordinary single storey Australian weatherboard home in the middle of a bright morning, seen from the front path: a plain timber front door standing open a hand's width onto a dim hallway with a pair of everyday shoes on the mat by the open door, a soft canvas bag standing on the porch boards beside a bunch of keys with a black fob lying on a plain ring, dappled shade from a leafy tree across the weathered boards and wall, a low native garden and a timber paling fence along the path, and a concrete path with a slight crack leading up to the step

An ordinary Australian kitchen sink in the late morning, seen from just above bench height: a stainless steel single lever tap with clear water running in a steady stream into a plain white sink, a few drops already on the stainless steel beside the drain, a plain mug drying on the drainer and a tea towel folded over the edge of the laminate bench, with a soft green garden out of focus through the window above and ordinary weekday daylight across the whole scene

The eave line of a single storey Australian brick veneer house seen from the garden in late afternoon light, galvanised guttering holding shallow water with dry broad leaves and seed pods along the channel above a downpipe running down the brickwork into a grated pit, a tiled roof and an overhanging gum tree branch above, with dry lawn, a paling fence and a hose reel at the edge of frame

The front of a red dust covered Australian dual cab ute outside the part open roller door of a small outback workshop in the Pilbara on a hard bright day, its nose pointing to the left of frame so its left hand side faces the camera, the grille packed with red dust, dried grass seed and dead insects and the bonnet and windscreen filmed with red dust, the steering wheel sitting through the windscreen on the far side of the cabin at the vehicle's right hand driver's side ahead of the driver's seat, with a wheelie bin and coiled air hose at the workshop door, a concrete apron and red dirt and spinifex at the edge of frame
