Maya Hughes, Sundown (JUNIOR 2025)

‘Sundown’ was captured in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, as this Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) grazed on grasses during a dry summer. It captures the beauty of our unique wildlife in nature, as the kangaroo’s silhouette contrasts against the colourful sky. This tranquil image presents a story of the importance of preserving Australian bushland and habitats. As this female kangaroo stood alert and focused on the mob close by, I captured this memorable photograph that represents Australia’s unique wildlife and natural beauty.
