I recently spent a beautiful weekend in the charming little countryside town – Daylesford, Victoria. This quaint little town is a hidden gem, known for its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and therapeutic hot springs. One of the most remarkable features of Daylesford is it’s picturesque countryside, dotted with rolling hills and sprawling farmland. This is a perfect place for those who are looking for a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you are a nature lover, a photographer, or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax, you will be enchanted by the breathtak ..read more

A few weeks ago, at the start of May to be exact I went on a little adventure finding Autumn colours in New England, NSW.

Finding Autumn colours in Tenterfield Finding Autumn colours in New England NSW was pretty easy once we hit Tenterfield. Tenterfield is 3.5 hours South West of Brisbane.

Towards the end of the year the South Island of New Zealand comes alive with some stunningly beautiful flowers called lupins. They are technically classified as a weed but they are so pretty that tourists from all over the world come to see them. They bloom in gigantic groups all around the lakes and spread all the way to down to and beyond Queenstown. This is my adventure of chasing lupins in New Zealand… My dream… I first saw a photo of the lupins surrounding Lake Tekapo 10 years ago. Being a landscape photographer I made a mental note that I would see this breath taking sight with my own ey ..read more

Have you always wanted to explore Lamington National Park but have been a bit worried about getting lost? It’s such a gigantic rainforest and one that I find truly stunning.

Check out my video at the end! How to get there: If you put O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat into your GPS you will e ..read more

Ahhh, the Whitsundays! One of the most exquisite places in Australia.

I was recently invited to stay at the Sunshine Coast for a few days thanks to Visit Sunshine Coast as part of The Curated Plate Food Festival that is being held from 5-18th August 2019. I have always loved this part of Australia and visit here regularly usually heading straight to Noosa for the day. This time I stayed in Coolum and experienced some amazing local food and awesome activities that I have never experienced before. There is a really vibrant food scene here on the Sunshine Coast. It was lovely to spend some time in the quieter beach town of Coolum and explore the hinterland of the S ..read more

I know I only just wrote about Fraser Island in my last blog back in January but I had the opportunity to visit there again in March thanks to Kingfisher Bay Resort. They invited myself and fellow photographer Stephen Waller to spend a weekend away at Kingfisher Bay Resort. This time we got to experience the other side of staying on Fraser Island. Instead of roughing it by camping we both got a deluxe room at the resort. We had the chance to experience meals from all the different restaurants along with sight-seeing new areas that we previously hadn’t seen before. It was a fun filled weekend a ..read more

Well hello there! Long time no speak! Well, what a year 2018 was. I think it had to have been one of the hardest years of my life, hence the radio silence on my blog.  I have finally got two seconds to sit down and write about my year in review. To begin with, if you are not signed up to my newsletter then you would have no idea what has been going on. Back at the beginning of 2018 my marriage ended. I actually find this really difficult to talk about. As much as I am an open book most of the time, I don’t like to talk about my personal life in such a public place. But I also use my websi ..read more

So let me show you how to Road Trip Cairns to Cape Trib! Cairns Starting from Cairns there are a few things that you want to check out before heading off on your road trip.
