Freycinet and East Coast

Sunrise at Sea: Fossil Cliffs Maria Island

September 10, 2013
The Fossil Cliffs Maria Island are perhaps the best place to photograph the sunrise on the island. With a delightfully rocky foreshore and an easterly aspect it is similar to that other great location for sunrises in Tasmania, the Tessellated Pavements on Eaglehawk Neck. The view encompasses the aeons old fossill cliffs, named due to...Read More

Maria Island: Painted Cliffs

September 4, 2013
Part I of my few days on Maria Island last week is a series of dusk shots at the islands most famous natural attraction – the Painted Cliffs. These cliffs are a natural formation of gently eroded sandstone which has created intricate patterns as the waves and weather shaped the cliffs over thousands of years....Read More

Island Hopping in Tasmania!

September 3, 2013
I have just come back from a week of “island-hopping” on two of Tasmania’s most well known island destinations – Maria Island and Bruny Island. As I mentioned in a previous post, the ferry to Maria Island was running free of charge this winter so I took advantage of that to spend two nights/three days...Read More

Maria Island Free Ferry Service this Winter!

August 13, 2013
For those who are planning a visit to the sunny east coast of Tasmania in the next few weeks, make sure to take advantage of the Maria Island free ferry service which has run all winter and will finish up on September 1 2013. Normally the trip would cost you $35 (which isn’t all that...Read More

Bushwalking in Tasmania: Freycinet Peninsula Circuit

April 4, 2013
One of the great bushwalks in Tasmania is the three day Freycinet Peninsula circuit walk. Most visitors to Freycinet National Park visit the lookout over Wineglass Bay and some more follow the track all the way to the beach or undertake the steep climb to Mt Amos, but only a few set out on this...Read More

Wineglass Bay Cruise – Marine Wildlife Photography

March 24, 2013
One of the (many!) highlights of last weeks Tasmanian Experience photographic workshop with Michael Snedic was the Wineglass Bay Cruise. This cruise is a half day journey with Duncan, the skipper, and Rastas, the “first mate”. Rastas also carries the heavy responsibility of being the dolphin spotter and can usually be found up front scanning...Read More

Long Exposure Seascape Photography, Freycinet National Park

May 25, 2012
The Jewel in the Crown for seascape photography on Tasmania’s East Coast is Freycinet National Park. The most easily visited locations within the National Park are the Friendly Beaches, Sleepy Bay and Honeymoon Bay. You can drive yourself to within a few minutes of all these locations but Bluestone Bay is only accessible by vehicle...Read More

Douglas Apsley National Park, Tasmania

January 23, 2012
The Douglas Apsley National Park is something of a “quiet achiever” type of park. It doesn’t have the crowd-drawing, eye-popping “stunning” type of landmarks that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Wineglass Bay or the Bay of Fires which are both nearby, but it’s charm is that you can have a more peaceful visit...Read More

Winter Photos of Friendly Beaches, Tasmania

July 25, 2011
Winter is a great time for landscape photography in Tasmania. The sun is quite low in the sky for most of the day meaning that the light is much softer at this time of year. Another advantage is that sunrise is very late in midwinter, with the sun rising after 7:00 am for quite a...Read More

Freycinet & Wineglass Bay

May 24, 2010
One of Tassie’s most celebrated views is Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park on the east coast. Perhaps the main difference between the two is that a little more effort is required to actually see Wineglass Bay than Cradle Mountain, which is located right in front of Tasmania’s most scenic car park. At Freycinet, the...Read More
