John Joseph Dwyer photographed the Western Australian Goldfields from 1896 to 1917.
Witnessing a period of rapid change and growth, he documented the rise and fall of towns during the gold rush. His revealing images of townscapes, industrial landscapes, machinery and people give an historic and honest perspective, not only of the Goldfields but also the experience of transience. Through his camera lens Dwyer poignantly captures the material, social and psychological reality of fast-changing communities.

Sometimes the best memories come from the stories behind the photograph. ‘Now And Then’ is a national photography project with a twist; members of the local community hold up an old photo in its original location and re-photograph it – telling both a story of the past and how times have changed.
'Now and Then' is a project from the ABC Open initiative supported by the Western Australian Museum.
