Queensland's Outback

Queensland's outback is a treasure trove
for photographers and
we jump at the chance to explore it further.

The rains are late this year providing photographers with an array of opportunities especially with sunsets.

We also discovered a new treasure -
Evening Star Tourist Park -
a mere 8 kms out of Charleville.
Owned and operated by Peta and Justin Debney
whose children make the 6th generation on this
historic property.

Better still for those that have ever camped in Charleville their park is not crowded!

Check them out its worth the visit!

Mackay and the Whitsundays

We headed north to escape the deluge that soaked south-east Queensland
and lapped up the sunshine in Mackay!

We cruised the picturesque Hibiscus Coast, had a day snorkeling with the crew from Odyssey H20, found a locals secret with great cuisine and escaped life on Brampton Island!

As they say, 'There's more than meets the eye in Mackay!'

A magnificent sight!

Crystal Creek

Ever been mesmerised by the rainforest?
Ever heard lyre birds mimic your own chatter?
Ever drifted away without a care in the world?
Then maybe you too have been enchanted by Crystal Creek.

China

China - a country so vast and diverse and a cultural treasure trove.
We explored ancient Budhist temples and grottoes, travelled to 2, 300 metres above sea level, walked through deep ravines with
waterfalls tumbling around us and yes even sampled some of the more unusual foods.
This library of images is very extensive - more images are available for reviewing on our China Gallery page however for specific requests please contact us direct.

Snowy Mountains

At 2228 metres Mt Kosciuszko is Australia's highest mountain and the surrounding national park is fondly referred to as 'Australia's King of National Parks'. We discovered rare alpine plants, found nowhere else in the world, drove tracks through snow covered plains, met an indigenous ranger and learnt about the country of his fore bearers and saw the wild brumbies enjoying the first green pick of this years spring. And yes it snowed while we were there, carpeting the plants and ground in a fresh white covering - perfect for photography!

This huge park covering more than 700,000 hectares with its array of attractions attracts over three million visitors each year. Yet while we drove around we hardly came across anyone and felt we had this wilderness to ourselves. What magic!

Fraser Island

World heritage Listed Fraser Island - the largest sand island in the world - was one of our destinations in September.
First off was King Fisher Bay Resort - if you have never been here mark it as a must do. We headed out with Ranger Chris for a day exploring the island, did a night rain forest walk with Ranger Duncan, saw humpback whales frolicking in Platypus Bay and dined like kings and queens on sumptuous food. Then we headed for Eurong on the east coast of the island. We discovered ancient rainforests, giant sand blows and miles and miles of beaches and inland tracks. We will be back!

July 2008 Vanuatu We headed to the South Pacific and Vanuatu, an archipelago of 83 islands. Unfortunately we only had time to explore two - Efate and Tanna - but what an exploration that was! We saw "Kastom" villages where people were living almost unchanged for centuries, stood on the lip of an erupting volcano as it spat ash and molten rocks above us, tasted the local kava, indulged in retail therapy through the markets, learnt about the history at the National Museum and met many of the friendly locals which are undoubtedly the countries greatest asset. To see more of the many images we shot while there or enquire re editorial please email us.
