050 Lake Cania

In what was supposed to be a mild September camping holiday at Cania Gorge in Central West Queensland, the temperature reached close to forty degrees celcius. Lake Cania was a welcome relief after lunch with a shady spot or out in the kayaks and canoes.

038 Purlingbrook Falls

Purlingbrook Falls is located in Springbrook National Park just west of the Gold Coast. In full water it is an awe inspiring sight and in this case has the added bonus of a rainbow to enhance its wonder.

059 Solitary Islands

060 Solitary Islands

058 Solitary Islands

057 Solitary Islands

On a recent family trip to Emerald Beach north of Coffs Harbour, every morning we woke to the sound of rain on the rooftop. I decided in hope to take the camera out on the last morning and wandered the beach on sunrise admiring the view. It proved to be a morning worth getting up early for as the sun found its way through the clouds against the backdrop of the lighthouse on one of the Solitary Islands.

056 Lake Taupo

To celebrate my wife's 40th birthday we ducked across to New Zealand to walk the Tongariro Crossing. On our way down to Tongariro we passed Lake Taupo in the middle of the North Island just on sunset. The colours were fantastic and we were treated to an ever changing spectacle.

033 Russell Falls

Russell Falls is located approximately an hour north of Hobart, in the south of Tasmaia. On this particular winter's day it was raining all day and we picnicked in the day shelters where the maximum lunchtime temperatures reached a very mild three degress celcius. I enjoyed the photo far more from the comfort of my accommodation that night then I was able to whilst shooting it. 

014 Queen Mary Falls

In the foothills behind Killarney, nestled outside of Warwick in South East Queensland, a little stream of water tumbles over Queen Mary Falls. From there this humble waterway forms the Condamine River and commences its long journey to South Australia as part of the mighty Murray-Darling system.



013 Carbrook Lagoon

It seemed like it had been raining for ever and there was water flooding every piece of low level ground. Driving home from work late one afternoon the setting sun created lovely tones of autumn reflected in the flooded lagoon.

037 Stewarts Bay

The jetty of Stewarts Bay on Tasmania's south east coast has a different type of seaside beauty. The stones and tussock grass seem out of place with the stereotypical idea of beach, yet are perfectly suited to the surroundings.

032 Stewarts Bay Jetty

Stewarts Bay is located on the Tasman Peninsula in South Eastern Tasmania, near the historic convict settlement of Port Arthur. The area is not only rich in history and heritage, but also beauty.

047 Cradle Mountain Reflection

It is hard to believe that the night before this photo was taken, a snow storm was blowing in Cradle Mountain and it was impossible to see across Dove Lake, let alone view any peaks. With just the slightest hint of a breeze on the water, the following day's hiking around the lake was almost perfect, despite the very slippery black ice.

036 Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain is one of the iconic images of the Australian landscape and would be on most people's list of places to visit and photograph. On a family visit to Tasmania we were greeted by a snow storm on arrival into Cradle Mountain, a freeze of the fresh snow overnight and a faultless view the following day. Credit to where credit is due, this photograph is courtesy of Ros Price, my wife. After downloading all of the photos from different vantage points and perspectives, she still had the best shot of the day.

021 Lagoon Saddle Tarns

Lagoon Saddle in Arthur’s Pass National Park, is part of the Southern Alps Mountain Range of New Zealand.  High above the distant plains, the mountain tarns freeze over in winter and collect the snow melt each summer, ever dwarfed by the imposing peaks surrounding them. This was the view from just outside my tent on New Year's Day. What a way to start a new year!

020 Lagoon Saddle Reflection

Lagoon Saddle is found in Arthur's Pass National Park, in the South Island of New Zealand. I was fortunate enough to spend New Year's Eve here one year and celebrated a time of reflection amidst a night show of the southern skies that was truly spectacular. This photo was taken late in the afternoon as the temperature dropped and the beanies and fleece came out in the middle of summer.

008 Lake Moogerah

What a weekend! Out on the boat with my brother in law on Moogerah Lake and we were treated to the sight of a wedge tailed eagle soaring across the water from its resting place on the cliffs at the far side. Then that afternoon as the children played around the campsite the sun set gracefully behind the mountains bringing a sense of peace across the water.
