Bush Babes - New Zealand

June 2009
The Long family lives as hermits in South Westland, New Zealand. They live in a makeshift hut without even the basics of modern life and have had no contact with the outside world for over 15 years.
Once a young medical student poised for great success, Robert Long decided to relocate his family to the bush. I wanted to be somewhere where it was all wilderness. Now living amongst the mountains of New Zealand they thrive from a lifestyle that would terrify most people. I think they concentrate on what we miss out on, they don't realise how much we have that they don't have.
