Diggers in the Nam

Tim Page

17 April – 7 June 2015

In 1965 photojournalist Tim Page was with the Australian troops in Vietnam when they landed in Bien Hoa. Like many of those he photographed, Page was barely out of his teens, and filled with the bravado of youth. Armed with a bag of film and his camera Page captured some of the most iconic images of the Vietnam War before he was gravely injured and sent to the US to recuperate.

Diggers in the Nam is a selection of 20 silver gelatin prints, which have been printed as a limited edition box set by Chris Reid of Blanco Negro, one of the last master printers in Australia. The exhibition is presented to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the deployment of the first Australian battlegroup to Vietnam.
