Notes from a Northern Life

Artist and writer Lucy McIvor lives two hours west of Gimuy (Cairns), where rural life, queer identity and the quiet rituals of the everyday weave themselves into her creative practice.

In this three‑part micro‑series, Lucy reflects on growth, memory, faith, and the unexpected places where queer life takes root. Through images and prose, she invites us into a world shaped by country living, long-term love, and the quiet resilience of queer women in regional Australia.
