Mycena kurramulla

September 5, 2024

This delightful little pink fungi – the Mycena kurramulla – was a very nice find on the Twisted Sister Track during my 3 day Mt Field and South West Tasmania photography workshop from earlier this year. The gills have very distinct margins, brownish red, which was a real feature and the main part I wanted...Read More

Sunrise Bay of Fires

August 30, 2024

Sunrise in the Bay of Fires is pretty much the main goal of my Bay of Fires photography workshops (the next of which – FYI – is running from October 23-26). This morning back in January started out innocently enough, perhaps even quite plainly to be honest, but pretty quickly blossomed into one of the...Read More

Upcoming Tasmanian Photography Workshops

August 8, 2024

I now have an online booking system for you to book and make payment all in one go. Some tours may show a “Call to Book” option or something similar. This usually means the tour date is close and I have had to start finalising rooms with the hotel. In this case a spot is...Read More

Frosty Ross

August 2, 2024

This incredible winter wonderland greeted us at Ross on a drive through Tasmania’s Midlands last month. The Macquarie River was completely frozen over, as was all the vegetation including the lovely Elm trees that line the main streets. The early morning light was really wonderful too, as a light mist hung over the town. Early...Read More

Cradle Mountain Snow Day

July 19, 2024

Back in June I took a couple of guests from Singapore to Cradle Mountain for a 3 day photo trip and we were lucky enough to experience a delightful winter wonderland! On our final morning, we woke early to see snow all over the car and the vegetation around the hotel but luckily the roads...Read More

The aurora of May 2024 – Part II – The “Fireball” aurora

June 24, 2024

Part II of my shots from the mega aurora of May 2024 is actually part I – these are some of the images I captured prior to dawn on the morning of May 11th up in Smithton. It was the last day of my annual autumn Tarkine photography workshop and for some reason I woke...Read More

Mystery Creek Cave Glowworms

June 18, 2024

Tasmania’s Far South includes the well known Hastings Caves (and associated thermal pool!) and the perhaps not as well known Mystery Creek Cave. Mystery Creek Cave is actually very close to Hastings Cave, just on the other side of the small towns of Lune River and Ida Bay. Mystery Creek Cave Access For some reason...Read More

The aurora of May 11 2024

May 24, 2024

Oh what a night! The aurora of May 11 2024 was an incredible night under the southern lights not just in Tasmania but all over the world. In the week leading up to May 11, a major sunspot on the sun fired off multiple major (X-class) flares in succession, leading astronomers to predict a very...Read More
