auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
Stuart Walmsley shoots Heritage Round at Ouyen's Blackburn Park in north-west Victoria, where Ouyen United, a club built from 43 merged teams, gathers each season to honour one of its predecessor clubs. The essay is anchored by 101-year-old Norm Vallance, a one-game veteran of the now-three-person locality of Kiamal, and uses portraiture and place to trace what rural-urban drift has left behind.
