Award winning photo
Kellie Craft Photography has won a place in the 2025 Rural Aid’s Spirit of the Bush photography competition for “Sunset at Pittsworth - Golden Hour” (pictured).
Now in its fifth year, the Spirit of the Bush photography competition received over 450 entries, which were narrowed down to sixteen winning photographs.
Each winning photo-grapher is to receive $250 and have their photos featured in Rural Aid’s 2025 Spirit of the Bush calendar.
This was the first year that Mrs Craft, a Pittsworth local, entered into the competition.
“I have always had a love for photography, it started when I was younger and in more recent time my love has been reinvigorated,” she said.
Her passion is in photos that tell a story.
“Whether it be a winning campdraft run, a special family occasion of something simple - I love that all photos tells a story and I can enjoy capturing moments that carry on, and can be treasured for years to come,” Mrs Craft said.
Rural Aid Chief Executive Officer John Warlters noted that the quality of submissions this year reached new heights.
“It was a challenging task to select the photos for next year’s calendar,” he said.
“Australia’s agricultural industry encompasses a diverse array of landscapes, practices, and communities, so it was essential for our calendar to vividly portray these stories and locations.”
Mr Warlters encouraged the public to support farmers by purchasing the calendar, as all proceeds will go to Rural Aid.
“By buying this calendar, you’ll not only enjoy 12 months of stunning imagery but also provide much-needed assistance to our mates in the bush,” he said.
“As Australia’s most trusted rural charity, Rural Aid stands by our farmers, offering life-changing disaster relief, fodder and water supplies, and mental health services.
“Our farmers play a crucial role in putting food on our tables, and purchasing a Spirit of the Bush Calendar is a simple way to say thank you,” he said.
Kellie Craft Photography does family sessions, events, formals, equine and everything in between that tells a story.
