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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Where? Yes, Valemount. I had never heard of it either but it was our stop-over for the night after driving all the way from Vancouver to the Rocky Mountains in Canada. We were heading for Jasper and needed a pit stop somewhere so Valemount was it, making it a 7 hour drive. A lot of […]
A Road Tripping Adventure: Vancouver and Whistler follows on from our previous adventures in Seattle which you can read about here and takes us across the border into Canada! I cannot even explain how excited I was at this point because Canada has been No.1 front and centre on my bucket list for the last 10 […]
The next part of our road trip was to Seattle. I was excited to see Seattle. I mean its the home of Greys Anatomy, the Space Needle, the original Starbucks, grunge music, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix and lots of rain! Why wouldn’t you want to go there! After leaving the Columbia River Gorge which you […]
Following on from A Road Trip Adventure: Portland, Oregon the next part of the journey was from Portland to Bend, Oregon. You may be asking why Bend? You have probably never heard of it but like I said in the last blog post, the entire state of Oregon is filled with natural beauty. First stop on […]
Sometimes as a photographer we can get frustrated when we drive for miles at ungodly hours to photograph a sunset or sunrise only to get there and the sky does nothing. You come home empty handed and empty hearted. When I’m feeling like this I have to remind myself that not all sunsets/sunrises can be […]
Following on from A Road Tripping Adventure LA to San Francisco which you can read about here, here, here and here, the next stop on the itinerary was Portland, Oregon. You may be thinking that’s an odd place to visit? Its not a well known city like LA, New York or San Francisco but Oregon is […]
Towards the end of last year I got to go on an amazing holiday to USA and Canada. I have always wanted to go to Canada so I was bursting out of my skin with excitement when we finally decided to bite the bullet and do it. There was one particular day that stands out […]
I hate flying. There I said it! The thought of having to take a flight longer than 3 hours sets my heart a flutter and my palms become clammy. My first big flight was when I moved to London about 6 years ago. The flight there was fine but I did numerous little flights while […]
While staying down in Northern NSW last week I was excited to be staying close to the beach and to finally have some time to do some photography. I get a bit crazy if I go too long between shoots. I have said many a time in the past that photography is my meditation and […]
