Back in January last year, Gemma gave me a wonderful birthday surprise with a trip up the East coast of Tasmania and a stay at Lisdillon Estate. Lisdillon is located near Little Swanport and dates back to the 1830s when it was a farm and salt works. Today it remains a working sheep farm and … More Lisdillon Estate & Vineyard
I’ve been wanting to sink my teeth into a long term photo-journalistic piece of work for some time now. Following on from the image I took of Dale ‘Hairyman’ Fullard for the Resilient Australia Awards, I think I’ve finally found the story I’ve been looking to tell. I’m going to expand on the portrait I … More The Fire Scientist: A chat with Professor David Bowman
Last Saturday I had the immense pleasure of joining an Instameet organised by the fine people at Hobart and Beyond and Discover Tasmania, the major tourism bodies of this lovely island of ours.

I’ve just returned from Adelaide where I was absolutely delighted to be awarded the 2019 Resilient Australia Award for Photography. I first heard about the awards back in April when a representative from the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience sent me an email asking if I’d promote it through my blog and other channels.

The scenery changed once again and I remember having my eyes glued to the view outside the window for a great deal of this section. One highlight was Seydisfjordur, a … More Iceland: The Epic East
Following on from the epic volcanic landscapes around Mývatn, we continued Eastwards and Southwardsish to our next campsite. On the way we had one bucket list item to tick off the list (well bucket list for me anyway), Dettifoss! We all know it from that epic opening sequence in Prometheus before everything went to shit … More Iceland: The Magnificent North (Part 2)
As we left the Eastern edge of Iceland, the storm that had put a dampener on affairs finally started to clear a little and we could finally see more than a few hundred meters. We left the Snæfellsnes Peninsula behind us and headed East, sadly skipping the Westfjords region as we wouldn’t have the time … More Iceland: The Magnificent North (Part 1)
It’s long been a dream of mine to visit Iceland, from the first time I saw programmes about it on the TV I’ve been intrigued and fascinated by this place.

Following on from the Western Wilds delights of the previous post, we continued our adventure north from Strahan to another former mining town, Zeehan.
