Karl Winkler
Karl Winkler’s father, Max was held as a prisoner of war in Canada for several years, where he worked on farms. After returning to a severely ‘bombed out’ Dresden after WWII, Max decided that there would be a ‘lack of opportunity in [the] foreseeable future’ and began plans to migrate to Australia.
Max departed from Bremerhaven, Germany during September 1951. He travelled on board the Skaubryn and according to Karl, the journey aboard the Skaubryn was crowded. Max Winkler arrived in Melbourne in 1951 and proceeded immediately to Cooma in New South Wales. Max’s first impression of Cooma was of a ‘very barren and windy’ place. Max first settled in a barracks camp for the Snowy Hydro Scheme and then later in a camping ground in Cooma. Max worked as a builder and drainer for the Snowy Mountains Authority.
Karl followed his father Max from Dresden in Germany and departed aboard the Anna Selene from Bremerhaven in February 1952. According to Karl, the journey to Australia was ‘crowded [and] boring’ . Karl arrived in Melbourne on 1 April 1952 and his first impressions of Melbourne were of a ‘busy and sprawling city’ .
Karl then joined his father, Max Winkler in Cooma, where they lived in a tent at the Cooma camping ground. From Cooma, Karl moved to Yarrangobilly Village and Wantabadgery, where he worked in all aspects of the building industry.
After settling in Wagga Wagga in 1956, Karl’s first job was building houses for farmers. Karl has continued to work in the building industry.
This film was made as part of From All Four Corners, and exhibited at the Museum of the Riverina in partnership with the Migration Heritage Centre in 2007.

A quick tour of southern Manitoba
Not my best work with video production, but entertaining nonetheless. This is a failed 300km attempt.
The day started out ok, but the sky quickly collapsed into weak lift forcing me to abandon my task.
The video is of the first 2h20 minutes of a 3h20 minute flight. I had the GoPro running until the battery died.

Fishermen's Terminal
Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal has been the home of the north Pacific fishing fleet for a century. In 200l, when the Port of Seattle announced it would open this blue-collar enclave to recreational boaters, a community of fishermen decided to fight. Fishermen's Terminal takes an unflinching look at maritime gentrification, the challenges of the small-boat fishers and the politics at the public agency that controls most of Seattle's waterfront.
The one-hour film features interviews with Pete Knutson, commercial gill net fisher and anthropologist, author Jonathan Raban, chef Maria Hines and Port of Seattle officials.

Better Late Than Never
Shady Lady: The world's largest rose bush
The Wild West city of Tombstone, Ariz., is famous not just for the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral but also for the world's largest rose bush. The Lady Banksia Rose Bush was planted in the back of a boarding house in 1885. Today, more than century later, the rose bush (nicknamed the Shady Lady) is the world's largest - at last measurement, its canopy of white blossoms covers more than 8,000 square feet! Lee Cowan reports on a magnificent, and seemingly immortal, desert bloom.
