Benjamin Allmon is an author, freelance journalist, musician, audio engineer, adventurer, and film producer.
His most recent book, The Black & White Braid: Roads, People, And Stories of the Scenic Rim (Cairn Tor 2021) Vol I & II has arrived on the bookshelves at The Happy Frog. These beautiful books about Queensland’s Scenic Rim were written in collaboration with photographer Carin Garland.
The Black & White Braid tells the story of a journey that photographer Carin Garland and Benjamin took on foot around the Scenic Rim, a region in southeast Queensland. They walked for 700km over thirty days, and tell the history of the region through the prism of the roads – the black and white braid – and who they were named for, who walked them first, and who walks them now.
