Overview

Voices of the community speak to changing seas across four chapters. A place is never only land and coordinates. It is woven from memory, shaped by relationships, and carried in the stories people tell. Yorkeys Knob is a living shoreline of experiences marked by beauty, resilience, and the quiet continuities that tie generations together. The stories held here rise from interviews, community gatherings, family albums, and treasured keepsakes in companionship with long-term residents. Through this shared making, a deeper trust forms, and a legacy grows, one that stretches beyond the final printed page.

Author Information

I'm a visual anthropologist, independent researcher, and former Curator at the Cairns Museum, with roots in Bratislava, once part of Czechoslovakia. My work has always been driven by curiosity about people, cultures and the ways we understand the world through images, words, and sensory experience. Since 2005, I've spent long stretches of time in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, where my PhD project and film, Skin Has Eyes and Ears, grew from close relationships and everyday observations. These days, my skills in storytelling, ethnography and visual communication have taken on new forms through cybersecuritywork and private investigations. Life in remote Yorkeys Knob keeps me grounded and inventive as I juggle research, parenting my 11-year-old son, helping at Yorkeys' Gem Rent-a-Car, and creating photographic calendars featuring the place I call home.
