Princes Pier is a very popular location for photographers, so much so that when I arrived there were around 20 other photographers from a Facebook group at the end of the pier. I had hopes of catching some nice light from sunset but alas the clouds were not cooperating and sunset itself was a non…
Click on the image to see the gallery. I was lucky enough to be at the 2017 Avalon Airshow as an exhibitor during the trade days and take these photos on my lunch break and after the closing of the pavilions each day. The trade days focus on the exhibitors, so flying displays are kept…
During my recent trip to Toorongo Falls, I came across this fungi growing on a fallen tree just to the side of the walking track. I think what caught my eye was the way the sunlight happened to highlight the orange edges of the fungi just at the moment. By the time my camera was…
I visited the Toorongo Falls a couple of years ago and had wanted to return ever since. With some prompting from my son and some fortuitous rain the night before it seemed the perfect opportunity to make the 75 minute drive to the carpark. The walk isn’t too long or difficult but it is uphill…
The iconic Bolte Bridge spans the Yarra River and is located approximately 2km to the west of the Melbourne CBD. Forming a critical part of the city’s road transport infrastructure, the Bolte Bridge could be considered the junction for the Westgate Freeway to the west, Tullamarine Freeway to the northwest & international airport and lastly…

Blue Sunset was taken from my favorite hill in Pakenham one evening when the sunset was looking promising. The image has for some reason always had an attraction for me and has been the background on my tablet for as long as I can remember. It was stitched together from 3 landscape oriented photos resulting…
Storm over Pakenham was taken during a particularly fierce storm just South West of Pakenham in Victoria, Australia back in November 2011. As the storm got closer I could hear it getting louder and louder and the green cast made me think there was more than just rain on the way. By the time I’d…
Like Gods Fury, Gippsland Lightning was taken while a huge thunderstorm passed Pakenham. This image was taken a little earlier than Gods Fury from the same location. It didn’t have the same drama about it as Gods Fury, but still manages to have a little “wow” factor due to the multiple lightning strikes in the…
The Penitentiary at Port Arthur in Tasmania is but one of many historic buildings at this very popular tourist destination, but don’t let that put you off as the site is quite large and you won’t have to elbow your way through crowds to “see the sights.” It’s an easy stroll to take your own…
