Ed Douglas used to be a Senior Lecturer in Photography at the South Australian School of Art circa 1977 -1980 when it was a part of the CAE at the Underdale campus. He retired in 2001.
I recall seeing some work from the Gypsum Mine on Kangaroo Island in South Australia as part of the CSR Photography Project:

In 2007 he had month- long residency with Ken Orchard in Hill End, central western New South Wales where they explored with camera and brush the historic goldmining landscapes of Hill End and Ophir. These are both sites of national importance in the history of gold-mining and visual art from the 19th century.

Landscape is Douglas' interest---eg., the Flinders Ranges, Petrel Cove, and Aldgate Valley. He uses a traditional view camera and does his own darkroom work to produce the prints.
