Outback Convertible

No roof, no doors and not roadworthy. 

Once you leave the larger towns in Cape York, perspective changes and you discover things that you would never see in the larger towns. This heavily modified 4 wheel drive would never   pass muster or a roadworthy in Cairns or Cooktown but up in the cape country all things are possible.  This picture was taken at Hann River.

Please Enjoy

Emu in town

The Local Emu checks out the local Roadhouse 


In my travels I have seen a lot of things but never have I seen an Emu in the middle of a town (be that a small one in far north Queensland).

Just an amazing thing to see. A brief travel note  though not overly hostile these large birds can have attitude and I would always advise people to take care and keep you distance.

Australian Flower

Tropical Flower

One of the Great things about bing an Australian landscape photographer who specialises in Fine Art Photography, is that spirit of discovery that you develop whilst traveling the Australian outback. I love to travel and capture the raw beauty of Australia. If anyone can help me out with the name of this flower that would be great.

Flinders Ranges Drive

The Stunning Flinders ranges




As an Australian Landscape photographer  on of the first places outside of my home state that I visited and spent some time was the Flinders Ranges, my first trip was 1989, my tent was small it was initially cold and wet but when the rain cleared the freshness of the countryside was just magnificent.  

There are so many beautiful drives and walks around hear it is amazing, though I would not recomend you go i summer, for me just a bit to hot.

Every Australian Landscape Photo Safari has a beginning.

Australian Landscape Photographer on six Wheels

In 2010 I hit the road for a three month Landscape Photo Safari. I loved every minute of my trip.
Honestly you cant beat being on the road for an extended time, life is to short to watch fox tell .

It tests your tenacity and focus. Not just in Creating great Australian landscape prints but in surviving the outback.

I just love the sprit of adventure and discovery that you have on these trips. So much to see and do, not to mention the people you meet.

Please remember you can buy my beautiful limited edition Australian landscape prints from.

In search of great landscape photo's, I sometimes get stuck in the mud, not fun.

Hi everyone I was away trying to capture some beautiful Landscape photos of the Murray river area and managed to get my little car and trailer, all 4 tonnes of it hopelessly bogged and as usual I was alone. 

Did I mention to my surprise the mosquitos were amazing. I could not believe the size of my bites.


I almost did not bring the 4wheel drive recover gear, luck I did. Always good to be out of the mud.

A landscape photographer's life is not alway's an easy one

Ski out in blizzards to get that perfect photo.


Sounds awful but when there is a break in the storm you can get some fantastic photos. These are taken at Falls Creek Australia. I have skied away from the resort for about 6 hours and when the weather cleared I managed to get these images.

You don't get good photos from inside watching TV you must always go outside. .

Snow tip #1

Play around but as a good you usually under expose your photos by 2/3 of a stop.




Snow tip  #2 

Be prepared for any weather condition.

Australian Alpine Huts

Snow in Australia


Hi everyone, like most of you throughout the world you might not realise that Australia has snow falls and a seasonal alpine area. Yesterday I went cross country skiing 22km to take these pictures. I hope you enjoy them.

Wallace's hut,  Cattleman's Hut 11km of skiing from the nearest town. This hut is over 100 years old.
The Inside of the hut taken with a six second exposure, and yes I had to carry the tripod the 11km out to the hut and return.

Lots of hard work and fun
