This was taken in the area known as the Living Desert, which is 2400 ha, located north of Broken Hill. This is a flora and fauna sanctuary in a 6km predator-proof fenced area that was established in 1992 by the Broken Hill City Council. A team member from Image Services went to Broken Hill to scan the Albert Morris Glass plate negative collection for the touring exhibition: Greening the Silver city: seeds of bush regeneration.

Within the Living Desert is a sculpture symposium that is situated on a hilltop at the centre of the reserve. International artists completed 12 sandstone sculptures in 1993 directed by artist and organizer Lawrence Beck.
