A series of photographs taken at the Cockburn Sound Women’s Peace Camp, December 1984, by Liz Wood.
Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Wood and her twin brother Paul were born in Perth in 1957. Liz attended Brigidine College in Floreat Park, and worked in a prawn factory in Exmouth before studying Women’s Studies and Humanities at Murdoch University. She became a journalist with the West Australian newspaper for 6 years and also worked as media advisor for Greens Senator Jo Valentine, in Canberra and Perth, during the 1980s.
Her twin brother Paul worked as a cameraman for commercial television, and at the time of Cockburn Sound was on the other side of the fence filming the protest, while his sister took these photos.
