Behind the Wire is an exhibition about Vietnam veterans, their jobs and their experiences, in their words.

For three years I photographed and interviewed Vietnam vets from all over Australia. I asked them about their training prior to Vietnam, daily tasks on tour and life since their return to Australia. I spoke with national servicemen and regulars, soldiers of all ranks and with a variety of jobs such as: cooks, dental assistants, truck drivers, tank drivers, forward scouts, riflemen, training team members, civilian nurses and more. Much has been written about the politics and military battles and strategy but I was interested in finding out about day-to-day life, how our guys coped with the situations they were put in and how they settled into life on their return to Australia.
