Tips for Photographing the Aurora in Tasmania

November 5, 2023
This month I thought I’d share some tips for photographing the aurora in Tasmania. This information will be in four parts – gear, what causes the aurora, locations and finally camera settings on the night of the shoot. Today I’ll be covering gear. Camera The first thing to cover is camera gear and in this...Read More
Tarkine Coast Couta Rocks

Couta Rocks

October 23, 2023
The entire Tarkine coast around Arthur River is incredible, but the Couta Rocks would just about be my favourite spot in the area. There is a timelessness to the area which is quite special. Waves pounding, wind howling and colours changing either at dusk or dawn.   Couta Rocks is just south of Sarah Anne...Read More

Gold Creek Revisited

September 26, 2023

September 1, 2023
Disc fungi are a unique group of fungi which you really need to look quite closely to even find. Generally around the size of a thumb tack (or smaller) and coming in many different colours – including green and a browny black, I often wonder to myself how on earth I actually spotted that…  ...Read More

Cascade River cascades

August 20, 2023
Downstream from the Mt Paris Dam on the Cascade River are some lovely, well, cascades. The Mt Paris Dam is a great destination in its own right but if you’ve got the time and you don’t mind navigating some slippery rocks on a barely there trail, a meander downstream along the Cascade River is a...Read More

Pink Robin

August 17, 2023
This little pink robin put on a delightful little show on the Whyte River in Tasmania’s Tarkine for one of my groups a couple of years ago. I don’t post a lot of bird shots so I thought it might be nice to share these. Conveniently he was in a nice sunny spot so shooting...Read More
