Living in rural Queensland, a hat is the most used accessory and is a rural reality by itself. A farmer’s hat has its own story to tell. Many are marked with oil or grease, dust, holes etc, showcasing the rawness and beauty of rural living. Each detail of this hat is a tribute to, and representation of, the vast variety of rural realities a farmer faces daily: weather, nature, livestock, fire, produce, crop. The positioning of the details supports equality of women and men who work on the land and are the main providers in our food chain.
