Deciduous beech on Hounslow Heath at Cradle Mountain

Fagus at Hounslow Heath

May 7, 2022
This year prior to my “Festival of Fagus” workshop with the Cradle Mountain Hotel, I spent half a day amongst the fagus on Hounslow Heath. The highlight of the walk was this particularly large fagus tree – encountered very shortly after commenting that you don’t often see many big fagus trees!   The fagus is...Read More

Cape Raoul – The Forgotten Cape

February 12, 2022
The Three Capes Track is now one of the most popular walks in Tasmania, as guests embark on a multi day walk through the Tasman National Park marveling at stunningly tall dolerite cliffs as they traverse coastal heathland from Port Arthur to Cape Pillar and Cape Hauy.

Aurora Australis off the Tasman Peninsula, Feb 3, 2022

Tasman Peninsula Aurora

February 5, 2022
2022 marks my 10 year anniversary of shooting the aurora here in Tasmania, and I have to say, after all this time, the excitement has not waned one little bit. In fact, some of these shots from the Tasman Peninsula on Thursday night would have to count as “personal best” aurora shots! I found myself...Read More

Mona Foma Beacon

February 1, 2022
Intrigued – and perhaps even a little alarmed – at MONA’s Dr Evil-inspired announcement of a huge fricking laser firing away at Hobart this weekend I ventured up kunanyi / Mt Wellington armed with nothing but a camera and a tin foil hat. The huge fricking lasers were based on Rosny Hill on Hobart’s eastern...Read More

Comet Leonard from kunanyi/Mt Wellington Tasmania

Comet Leonard

December 29, 2021
Last night I took advantage of the clear skies and lack of moonlight to get out and see if I could capture Comet Leonard. I decided on kunanyi/Mt Wellington as I hadn’t been up there in ages, and given the comets location in the western sky I thought the other side of Hobart’s city lights...Read More
