Araluen Botanic Park – Stream

I went to Perth recently for a holiday with my family, and to also attend my cousin’s wedding (‘onya couda). Perth is a wonderful city with a lot of great sites to see and explore. I couldn’t rate the CBD as highly though in comparison to Australia larger cities like Sydney or Melbourne, however of …

Westgate Bridge – Stony Creek

With a couple of work mates, we went out to do some night photography of the city; Wanting to get a photograph of the Westgate Bridge, we came upon a little car park underneath one of the bridge’s structural pillars. The area was located at Stony Creek reserve, which as the photograph shows, contains a …

Steavenson Falls – Marysville

Marysville is one of the best picnic places in my personal opinion that is close to Melbourne (only approximately 1.5hr drive). Just 15-25min from Healesville, the drive is well worth it. I went there with my family on a recent long weekend to enjoy the day to relax. Excellent children’s play ground, with a flying fox available …

Sambo

Our family dog Sammy aka “Sambo”. Beautiful and friendly dog who has been with my dad since pup. I photographed Sambo as the subject for my “Animals” competition entry of the Work photo comp.

Altona Pier

This photo was shot as my entry for the February 2014 challenge for the Clique Photography challenge (The Age). Shot at sunset when the seagulls were flying to find their resting spot for the night with a gentle sea breeze to cool the air after a hot afternoon. It was a great family outing, just …

Twelve Apostles

Whilst on a holiday trip along the Great Ocean Road, we stopped at the famous landmark “The Twelve Apostles”, apparently there aren’t actually twelve of them anymore, however I was happy enough to snap the landscape photo. I guess there are hundreds of great photos of that spot from tourists around the world, but I …

Jellyfish

The humble jellyfish, ever so lazily floating in water. This jellyfish was enjoying a restive afternoon at the Melbourne Aquarium, when I came along and saw the deep red color that the exhibit highlighted for the Jellyfish. You can see in clear detail the small delicate tendrils from the body of the jellyfish, and it …
