Biographies
Lachie Carracher brings a grounded, outcome-based approach to his position as
Operations Manager for the Climate Adaptation Project with the Nulungu
Research Institute. Wild Rivers curated his life internationally before moving to
the Kimberley; Canada, Uganda, Nepal, China, Sumatra, Laos, Colombia, and
Switzerland. This unique life experience allows him to have a valuable depth of
knowledge with respect to the conservation and management of the waterways
which he brings to the West Kimberley and specifically the Martuwarra Fitzroy
River. Lachie is an award wining, solo exhibiting photographer with themes once
again focused on Rivers. Previously the Australian Geographic Young Adventurer
