I recently spent two days at Spicers, Hidden Vale in Grandchester, QLD. This 12,000 acre property is only an hours drive from Brisbane but literally feels like you have been transported to somewhere like the Hunter Valley in NSW. It is set on a ridge with stunning views over a huge valley. The estate is filled […]
This is the first of a series that I am doing which is a Micro Blog of a photography location. Think of it as a mini location guide. Every week I will give you a location, a map of where it is and directions to get there plus photos from the area. Starting off Micro […]
My first thoughts when the discussion of the honeymoon came up was Bora Bora, Tahiti. I have dreamt of going to this place since I can remember. But of course when you are planning a wedding and the costs are spiralling out of control at an alarming rate, the budget for the honeymoon becomes less […]
When I did a tour of the South Island of New Zealand a while back everyone was telling me that I needed to see Milford Sound. As always I never believe what people say and I thought – yeah maybe! We were staying in Queenstown for a few days and we had some spare time […]
A few weekends ago I had to go 4 wheel driving on the beach at Bribie Island to photograph a few camping spots for a tourism campaign. Having recently sold my little old Toyota Rav 4, the only vehicle that was suitable to drive on the beach was my husband’s work car which is a […]
Last weekend I flew down to Sydney to check out the Vivid Festival which is an 18 day festival of light, music and ideas. It is a free public exhibition of outdoor lighting sculptures and installations that are displayed around the city. I have wanted to photograph this event for the last three years so […]
Recently I spent a bit of time on the Sunshine Coast, QLD doing a tourism project and one of the locations I had to explore and photograph was Kondalilla National Park. I have been to this national park before but only briefly so it was nice to spend quite a bit of time exploring all […]
On a recent road trip around Tasmania we spent 3 nights at Cradle Mountain. It was Autumn and if you know Tasmania at all that could mean that its a beautiful hot sunny day one day and snowing the next. The weather can be very unpredictable but luckily we had mostly beautiful clear days although […]
I had always heard rumours about Lake Tekapo and how the colour of the water is this amazing blue colour and I have seen pictures with pink and purple flowers around this aqua blue lake and thought to myself, I have to see that one day but actually witnessing this lake with my own eyes […]
While we were in the middle of renovating our 90 year old two bedroom workers cottage, we decided we needed a break and decided to head to Melbourne for 12 days. We were sick of the neighbours looking at us like freaks every time we washed up our dishes in a bucket in the front […]
If you follow me on instagram then you probably know that I love a good waterfall and that I often need to get out amongst nature to calm my restless spirit (I think I am borderline ADHD!) so on the weekend a new photographer friend took me to one of his favourite secret waterfall locations. […]
Last summer I had the opportunity to go 4 Wheel Driving on the beach with some friends. They were heading up to Double Island Point for the day and asked us to join them. Of course me being up for anything that sounds remotely like fun, I jumped at the chance! We had never done […]
