Next stop on this Easter run is Lake Macquarie for the Australian Secondary Schools Sailing Championships. Always a stunning part of the country to spend four or five days on the water watching some of Australia’s up and coming sailors doing their thing.

Looking forward to hopefully getting back into the Flinders Ranges and surrounding countryside and see if all the reports of a very green Flinders is true. Last year around this time I was working shooting a rally in Burra SA. The photos show just how dry it was.

Nice to actually have an Eastern Rosella drop in for a drink. I see them around all the time but rarely get the chance for a photo or 2.

My Australia Down Under

I created this page so I could share my love of this great country with like minded people. I am fortunate to be able to take my passion of photography along with my love of travelling to places many people never get to go and call it my job. I often travel with my wife Kim.

A big part of what I do involves photographing an amazing event each year known as the Great Endeavour Rally raising funds for people with an intellectual disability. Each year we head to amazing destinations, often places that the general public are not allowed to travel. We spend time on private properties, travels roads only the brave would challenge and enjoy the company of some amazing people.

I also have the opportunity to photograph some pretty cool events from V8 Supercars , Rally Australia , World Surf League events like the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast and Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach in Victoria and The Australian Schools Sailing Titles at Lake Macquarie NSW.

In 2019 we are planning a five week long road trip , destination unknown other than picking up Kim from Perth airport after I drive across from Adelaide and dropping her back to Perth on the way back ( this will allow Kim to save 6 days of leave just getting to and from our start point ). Our only criteria are our start and finish dates . We hope to catch up with good friends who will be on road somewhere at sometime. In the past we have decided the direction of our trips by simply choosing left or right at the front gate a but with no plans other than a direction.
