The exhibition will feature the finalists and winners from the 2022 Nikon-Walkley Press Photography Awards, showcasing the best Australian press photography from last year.

These are not only great photos, but are moments in Australian and world history. From floods and war to sport, protests and the human condition, these are all superb photographs.

The Walkley Awards are the highest honours in Australian journalism, celebrating excellence across all media. Since 1956, when the first Walkleys were presented in five categories, the awards have grown to 30 categories, including documentary film, non-fiction books, and of course, Press Photographer of the Year, which is presented with Nikon.

Please note: there are some photos that some visitors may find confronting, due to their hard-news content. Indigenous visitors are advised that this exhibition includes images of people who have died.
