25.01.2022 My favourite shot of the weekend of this beautiful Whistling Kite soaring above turquoise waters. . An awesome weekend away on the Mid North Coast meant a day spent at Seal Rocks. With pure dumb luck, this day was to be a smorgasbord of wildlife spotting. I was able to get my favourite shot yet of a Whistling Kite as it soared above Boat Beach .... ************************************************* .

23.01.2022 Its a joyous time to be able to head back out into the spotlight of the isolation that the more secluded parts of nature offers us. Having had to stay local has prevented visiting some of the more isolated beauties around me but given also given me more appreciation to be able to head out this weekend into the outdoors. . Earlier, @hh_liimm was basking in the pocket of light beaming onto the isolated stage of this beautiful cavern in the Blue Mountains. A perfect way to bre...ath in the essence of the mountain atmosphere. . ************************************************* .

22.01.2022 Morning broke to an incredible mini storm cell approaching the Walls of China. . Incredible sunsets and nights greeted us but sunrises were elusive on this Mungo trip, with storm and rain greeting us each morning as we rose early to see the sun but met with incredible views of 360 degrees of storms around us. . The flat topography of Mungo National Park landscape enabled us to see the storm cells around in all directions. Frightening as they were, the storm cells were truly ...incredible. . Although we didnt get to see any sunrises, perhaps the unpredictable nature of the mornings kept us on our feet and sharp for the trip. *********************************************** .

22.01.2022 A memorable sunrise at the edge of the Blue Mountains some time ago after an escape from society for a camping weekend away and not a soul in sight. .

21.01.2022 Rarely do these beautiful birds stay still! Even better, to capture the beautiful superb fairy wren in flight! . I had my eye on this beautiful male superb fairy wren as he danced and fluttered around the ground and low shrubs. As a female of the same species (easily distinguished from the male by its brown plumage) fluttered by, this guy began his chase after her! . *************************************************... .

20.01.2022 Clarabelle looked back at me with intent and wise eyes. I met her on my way out of Barrington Tops National Park and was captivated by her beauty. Recently acquiring a new @sony telephoto lens to the set, I was super happy to lock eyes with her and take a few shots from afar. . The recent downpours and above average rains have had these grassy areas resemble more of the Western Highlands of Scotland than the dry Australian colours we have been used to seeing. I cant imagine ...how stoked Clarabelle has been recently with the change in scenery around her. . A long while back @__whateverman kindly share his love for Highland Cattle with me on a trip together and has led me to also opportunistically look out for these beautiful cows whenever I pass farmlands. It only fitting I met Clarabelle and got some beautiful shots of her on another trip with @__whateverman . ************************************************* .

20.01.2022 Drenched in mist and rain in the depths of the Barringtop Tops Forest I headed along one of the beautiful tracks past much spectacular fungi and greenery towards the sound of cascading water and stumbled along this lavish scene. . After over 4 years of seeing this picturesque National Park through dear @treesandseas beautiful instagram feed, stories and recommendations everytime we met, I finally made the impromptu trip to head up to the park with @__whateverman to catch a g...limpse of the special area. With the added ambience of drizzling rain all trip, it was an absolute marvel. . To see this section of Barrington Tops untouched by the recent fires in lush Green was quite majestic and one could easily forget the devastation in the other parts of the Park but these lush scenes should serve as a reminder to the fragil environments we need to protect. ************************************************* .

19.01.2022 One of the few wildlife photos I was able to take on the limited fast packed trip out to Mungo National Park. A pair of beautiful Major Mitchells Cockatoos flew overheard and landed on a nearby tree as I was headed to a nearby sunset along the Self guided Drive Tour. With time limited, I quickly grabbed a few snaps of these pretty birdies before rushing to sunset. . Limited to semi-arid and arid environments but not uncommon around these areas, my first ever sighting of th...ese beauties in the wild was met with much excitement - perhaps fuelled more by the disappointment of somewhat low wildlife numbers seen on the trip. . With their beautiful Pink plumage they are also known as the Pink cockatoo and leadbeaters cockatoo. Their brilliant colour really stood out amongst the arid Mungo landscape. ************************************************* .

19.01.2022 As I drove between Seal Rocks and Forster, I sighted the incredible sight of an osprey nest on top of a power pole along The Lakes Way and had to check it out. . On second look there was an osprey inside the nest and also another feeding on a fish as so happily indulged in taking some quick snaps although it was difficult staring into the sun. . Often know to build nests on top of power poles, this iconic Osprey nest has been around since 2015, and the subsequent power pole i...s now non functional for electricity! It remains standing purely for the osprey nest. . ************************************************* .

19.01.2022 Gazing over the beautiful Mungo landscape at sunset hour as the warm rays turn the lunettes golden along the Walls of China. The stunning features and eerie landscape really made us feel like we were in another part of the world perhaps even space. . After driving the best part of the day across the state east to west, we arrived just in time to catch the last moments of day over the epic Mungo landscape, unlike any other wed seen in Australia until now. . Three major lay...ers of sediment formed over a long period of time, the oldest up to 150,000 years ago and ancient burials have been found in some higher layers over 36,000 years old. On the top layer is where these spectacular clay lunette formations are found, for ed up to 15,000 years ago through decreased water flow, mud, salts and the processes of wind. . Perhaps the most famous of all discoveries were the findings of Mungo Lady and Mungo Man, the cremation of Mungo Lady being the oldest known in the world. . The Paakantji, Ngyiampaa and Mutthi Mutthi people are the traditional owners of this beautiful National Park and their descendants walk in the footsteps of their ancestors safeguarding the heritage for years to come. . *********************************************** .

18.01.2022 A mystical sunrise over Greater Sydney from Yellow Rock Lookout - perhaps the most memorable Ive experienced from this stunning Blue Mountains spot. . Every so often I like to pay this beautiful quaint place a visit to start a Blue Mountains trip, and do so without a heap of expectation but my golly did this morning hit the mark. . First, the colours in the sky lit up in a smorgasbord or colours as we stood in awe of this Blueys view over the Nepean River and Castlereagh to... Marsden Park of Greater Sydney shrouded in mist. However it was as the colours left and the sun rose and lit up the dissipating mist clouds that the glorious moment was truly felt. . Oh what a morning it was. There really is too little time to get the perfect shot in the circumstances but good company and an incredible view for hungry eyes left my spirits fulfilled to begin the day in the Blue Mountains. . ********************************************** .

18.01.2022 The first day of 2020 in Sydney began with the all-too-familiar smoky haze of late, the continuing story of the back end of 2019 and the bushfire crisis still gripping Australia. . One of my favourite places in NSW, Donkey Mountain and the Wolgan Valley has seen the fires rip through the area and its hard to wonder what this place will look like when I eventually return to see it. Some life regenerates, and some change but there has been so much lost to date, and unfortunate...ly more to come in the foreseeable future. . Though this post was to be a New Year Greeting to all, I would firstly like to take the time to thank all the personnel out there self-lessly battling the fires and assisting those in and around them. . I could go on about the sorry issues to the whole story but with the New Year I thought it appropriate to focus on the good of the wider Australian community banding together in this time of crisis. With that in mind, please donate generously to the @nswrfs in this time of need. . As I yearn for a return soon to Donkey Mountain, I send a big Thankyou to the fieries and volunteers out there battling in NSW and across Australia and those who have lost their lives in terrible conditions to protect our Australia. . I post one of my favourite images before the bushfires of the view of the Wolgan Valley from atop Donkey Mountain. . I wish everyone a Happy New Year and the bestest 2020 to come. .

18.01.2022 A first time walking through the depths of a canyon for @b1isss0m was met with many moments of awe and a touch of frost. The beautiful constrictioms above gave way to a passage of light to illuminate the interior and some of the lush ferns that were able to grow in the dark space of the canyon. . The beautiful walk in Nayook Creek Canyon offers a beginners look into adventuring canyons with a mix of obstacles and easy grade ropes with no extra gear required on most given days.... Caution should always be observed in any canyon no matter the difficulty due to the dangerous nature and remoteness of these beauties. ********************************************** .

18.01.2022 The moment I was in deep eye to eye contact with the magnificent male Gang-gang Cockatoo in the Blue Mountains. It gave me an inquisitive look as I happily obliged. . At the beginning of the day's walk at Mount Wilson, this beautiful guy fluttered overhead and perched himself on an overhead branch right in front of me and I duly obliged in becoming over excited and snapping his photo. . Mostly mild grey in colour with some lighter scalloping, the male Gang-gang cockatoo has ...a red head and crest, while the female has a small fluffy grey crest. The male Gang-gang cockatoo really stands out with his male plumage and is easy to identify. . Usually found more to the South East of Australia to where it is endemic, it will migrate short distances in winter to open habitats but return to their sense woodland homes to breed. ************************************************* .

18.01.2022 A sunrise from my last overnight hiking trip on one of Australias highest peaks. Waiting in anticipation for the next fabulous trip to come in the hope of catching that gorgeous sunrise. . As @davesyd_ and I woke an hour before sunrise, and headed to our designated sunrise on top of Etheridge Ridge we looked behind us as the Peak of Mount Kosciuszko started to become brighter in the approaching light. . Not a cloud in the sky this morning and the vast ranges of Main Range f...ailed to encapsulate the fact that we were so high up. Nevertheless, this was not a moment wed get to cherish often so we soaked the best of the morning sun in whilst it lit up the landscape - especially the pocket of December snow. .

16.01.2022 Pantoneys Crown Sunrise from the Winter White Gardens of Stone! . Forcefully waking up to the -7 degrees celsius morning to catch sunrise was a real struggle as the warmth of my sleeping bag defied all logic of getting out of the tent. However, rise I must and I stumbled out of my Pantoneys Crown refuge to await the sunrise. . Winter sees the Gardens of Stone National Park area frequently drop sub zero temperatures although snow is very rare. It has been a thinly veiled missi...on to catch snow on one of the high points of this beautiful area on an overnight hike for a once in a life time event. . Alas the forecast did not predict any such snow but did see the temperatures drop so low that overnight everything frosted over and a glossy white shone over the landscape.

As we took our time summiting the Pantoneys Crown, jewel of the Capertee, once we reached the summit with our heavy laden packs, the first thing for us was to take photos and videos of our first moments on top. @davesyd_ took his perch upon one of the great vantage points to take i...n the expansive view of the Capertee. ********************************************** .

16.01.2022 Overnight Hiking camp scenes from Pantoneys Crown. . Two of the beautiful scenes that came of the overnight hike and just another reason I love doing these tough adventures. Seeing the Milky Way Core brightly shining above us as the sun disappeared in the evening with the full moon that rose soon after and the warm sunrise from our tents as we woke to horridly cold temperatures were just the perfect reward for what was a tough slog. . Dont let the beauties of these scenes ...fool you as to the preparation and endurance one may need to endure an overnight hike.

16.01.2022 Earlier this year when weddings were still scheduled and life was still somewhat of a norm, I took my friends on a trip to the Blue Mountains for a pre wedding shoot to grasp a feeling of immersion in the Australian Bush. Rather than the iconic photos with the Sydney Landmarks, they asked for this nature touch and I was happy to oblige. . Very different to the sort of walks and tours Im usually on but it was awesome to be able to capture a special scene like this in such a ...beautiful place like the Blue Mountains at a variety of my favourite spots. . Fast forward a few weeks and things have drastically changed and plans will have changed for many who were to be wed including my friends.

15.01.2022 Spotted the loveliest of Rainbow Lorikeet pairs enjoying the shelter of this tree hollow. The manner in which they were fluttering around the hollow brought joy to me. . Taken along one of my not-so - frequent bird-watching walks, it today seems eerily similar to the predicament that we find ourselves in, holed up at home, although this lovely pair has the freedom to fly off at their choosing. .... Although a common sight to see in many a suburban scene, if not heard for their noisy chirpy cries, one of the most colourful native Australian birds makes its presence felt. They mostly remain monogamous and remain paired together for a lengthy time, if not for life and part of the reason we hear their noisy colourful chatter amongst them. . . ************************************************* .

14.01.2022 As the rain continues to fall in the Blue Mountains at recent record levels, even the most unsuspecting areas receive uncommon flows of water. A few hours after a recent downpour in the Blueys, I headed into one of my favourite areas of zen and was greeted by the presence of a rare waterfall! . Nestled deep in the Blueys, this beautiful nook was alive with the sound of rain and flowing water, teeming with lush greens and forest sounds. A perfect place for the mermaids to call... their frolicking place admist natures serenade. . It was only fitting to spend a long while in this space, admiring the audible ambience of the ampitheatre and taking shots a plenty of the lovely @nanju_snap and @sizezero86 while finding a few brief moments to take some shots for myself of the rare flow. .

14.01.2022 Visiting the 6th highest Peak in Kosziuscko NP and Australia where our evening adventures began. . After almost 20km of trudging through changing conditions, especially times of walking on snow with a 23kg pack, the wondrous sight of yet another Peak in the distance reared its head. The intricate way the Rocks formed the peak at Rams Head North really drew my eyes in the fading light as well as to the small streams from the melting snow. .

Day hiking is usually done as the Mount Kosziuscko summit walk via the Main Range circuit - Charlottes Pass and Thredbo are the most taken starting points.

13.01.2022 "Light at the end of the Tunnel" . As some bumbling world leader casually describes his countrys current crippling pandemic situation. I sure hope things turn around soon for them for the sake of the people. . For us in NSW, it really seems as if there is a small light at the end of the tunnel from this coming Friday - just announced, as small gatherings of 10 are allowed outdoors again, hopefully covid-19 case numbers wont break out and undo the two months of stay at home... restrictions. . Its up to all of us to be responsible and practice minimal social contact where possible. In the mean time I am very glad to be able to possibly head out next weekend with a small handful of keen walkers. Nothing solid is planned yet but the excitement is real. . Meanwhile, a flashback to a beautiful canyon Ive not been back to for a very long time when I guided a small group into Wollemi National Park for this beautiful adventure.

Fast forward a year and Kangaroo Island, much like other large parts of Australia, has been decimated by the bushfires and has seen some terrible times. The isolated nature of the island meant a large number of pure strains of wildlife were present on the island like the... only chlamydia free koalas in Australia and the purest Ligurian bees in the world. . These have been highly publicized, along with the tourist resorts, local businesses and homes affected. The fires have taken over more than half the island to date and have been truly devastating. It is important to note that there are so many other fauna and flora that have been affected over just what makes the news. . Flinders Chase National Park especially, has lost so much and will take years to recover and much will never eventuate. I was lucky enough to visit this amazing place before the Fires and will definitely head back to help tourism back in the area. . These are just a couple of fond shots of my time on Kangaroo Island before the fires and a means of encouraging people to visit the beautiful island to support the island. In the meantime please help support the efforts of @kiwildlifepark . ********************************************** . , . , . 5 . . @kiwildlifrpark . . ********************************************** . #rocks #island #mountain #visitnsw #epic_captures #ig_australia #australia #seeaustralia #adelaide #southaustralia #wow_australia2019 #fantastic_earth # #kiwildlifepark #bushfires # #main_vision #australia_shotz # # # #special_shots # #master_pics #nature # #discoverearth @ Kangaroo Island See more
12.01.2022 Kosciuszko Dusk Dreaming by the Grand Aries Tor. . One of the absolute highlights of the day after walking the Main Range Track with a heavy pack for the overnight journey and one that still comes to memory every so often. . Aries Tor, a beautiful Formations of Rocks off the beaten Track along Merrits Creek attracts many photographers and enthusiasts alike mostly from the Thredbo Express Chairlift side who venture here just for this sight. As beautiful as Aries Tor may be, ...it couldn't be more recommended to embark upon the full Main Range Walk and more to see more of the beauty of Kosciuszko. . In the meantime, perhaps there's a plan to Kosciusczko for me sooner than I had originally thought....... . ********************************************** .

12.01.2022 The moment A truly miraculous display of light in the Grand Canyon captivated my soul. . As I waited in awe (and cold) for a light event that may or may not have eventuated in the canyon floor, I couldn’t help but think there must be a dozen different sections along the canyon at which light beams may penetrate at astonishing angles. . It’s been a couple of visits down here to this serene place, and it never gets old. This time round though, I had one goal in mind. To b...e in the right spot at the right time of the day at which the sun’s rays would penetrate deep into the canyon through its constrictions... . After finally deciding on two spots near by each other and with camera/tripod set up I waited. . And then just after the stroke of midday, multiple blinding beams of sunlight hit the canyon floor, providing a short but temporary warmth and dazzle to the already beautiful atmosphere for this shot. . ********************************************** .

11.01.2022 Rain almost every weekend just means these Blue Mountains waterfalls are pumping away! I headed back to the Pool of Siloam to see it in marvellous flow and was not disappointed. . A quick look at my last visit to the spot back in 2015 (post also on instagram) shows the small steady stream on a normal to dryish day. . Although only a short 10 minute stroll to the waterfall, the rain pelted down and made shooting uncomfortable. Getting cold, wet and miserable on what was planne...d to be a relaxed weekend, was not initially on the cards. I quickly knuckled down to get a few shots and I was back in the local pub with a beer soon enough. . Hiking and shooting in the rain is sure fun but not so much when you havent really prepared the right gear for it! Nevertheless I was stoked to see the Pool of Siloam in such awesome flow. ************************************************* .

11.01.2022 Nothing quite like spending a night in the elements of our Aussie nature, adoring the best of what it has to offer. . Donning the heavy overnight/multi-day packs and setting up camp in the heart of the outdoors really brings both the thrill and serenity of adventure to a place you can call home. . Whilst it is even more important we tread lightly and respect the places we visit especially when setting up camp, the feeling of connection with our surrounding environment, flor...a and fauna entices me over and over again. . Add in the prospect of catching sunset and sunrise, sharing experiences tough and fulfilling with companions it’s definitely worth considering at least once in a lifetime. ********************************************** . #loveNSW #camping #discovery #overnight #epic_captures # #australiangeographic #seeaustralia # #backpacking #light #planetearth #tent #nswnationalparks #natgeo # #sonyaustralia #australia_shotz # #discoverearth # #special_shots # # #nature #overnight #discoverearth

09.01.2022 Hearing the beautiful familiar call of a Black Cockatoo had me look around frantically as I spotted a small flock of Black Cockatoos. To my delight it turned out to be a species I had never seen before. Walking through Yanchep National Park in Western Australia a few years back on the search for wild koalas led me to an opportunistic first meeting with a wild Carnabys Black Cockatoo - its appearance as beautiful as all Black Cockatoos are. At first thinking it was a Yellow...-tailed Black Cockatoo I snapped a few shots being one of my favourite birds to see around NSW. With closer inspection it clearly had its own distinctive features as well as a creamier colour on its cheeks and tail feathers as opposed to yellow. Its plumage is also edged with a creamy white . Endemic to South Western Australia, the numbers have slowly declined mainly through loss of habitat, and although conservation measures are in place, more awareness is needed to protect the livelihood of these beautiful birds. ************************************************* .

09.01.2022 With many a camping trip missed this winter, I sit back and reflect on the wonderful company and warming sun that greeted us at Kanangra Walls a few years ago. Its these camping trips that I have looked forward to every winter that Ive missed sorely. .

07.01.2022 The Crossing of Snowy River. . Weary eyes from the drive and worrying thoughts of 23kgs on our back were soon forgotten as we stopped multiple times after barely beginning the walk to take in the views.

After many years of this alpine adventure having been on the feelers, I finally headed down to Kosziuscko National Park, to do an overnight walk via an extension of the Main Range Track . ... . With a quick stop by the nations Capital the night before which had its own share of adventure, @davesyd_ and I began our overnight walk on Saturday morning. Barely 10minutes had elapsed before the stunning view of two walkers crossing Snowy River greeted our eyes on this grand scale. Therell definitely be more posts of Kozzie coming up! .

07.01.2022 Mungo Evening Blaze. The sky turned it on for an absolute Mungo Masterpiece on our last evening there. Our final evening may have been the best moment of all. It really was some way to finish the full day of Mungo adventur! . We hurried through the vast landscape finding different vantage points with little time left before the colours disappeared. Caught between taking portraits and landscapes at the time, it really was exhilirating watching the sky turn it on. .

06.01.2022 A beautiful walk along the Kosciuszko Summit Trail from the Thredbo Chairlift brought us to the sight of the beautiful Merrits Creek less than half an hour into our walk. It truly was a wondrous sight to behold! Easily one of the highlights of the Kosciuszko Alpine Way Road Trip! . The conditions weren't the most usual for October Spring and visibility was minimal due to the snow, wind and mist but that just meant the more closer sights were even more mystical. It is more pr...obable to expect a greener and clear landscape in the warmer months but snow is never out of the question all year round due to Kosciuszko's altitude. . Just another reason to walk the Kosciuszko National Park trails and make a road trip out of it to enjoy the many sights along the road trip way and the destination itself. .

06.01.2022 A beautiful moment along the Kosciuszko Summit Trail beside Merrits Creek as @sujinmin sat and adored the flowing alpine waterways. Despite the fact it was late Spring heading into Summer, a blinding whiteness surrounded us as we walked through Kosciuszko National Park. . Though such thick snow is rare in and around summer a unexpected snowstorm greeted us.

04.01.2022 Grandeur and Fragility of a Mungo Lunette in Mungo National Park. . As spectacular and beautiful the sight was to see these Lunette Formations along the @nswnationalparks guided Discovery Tour we were constantly reminded as to the fragile nature of these spectacular lunettes. . Having formed over many thousands of years after the drying of Lake Mungo and natural environmental processes it was duly noted that these incredible formations are always under these conditions and i...n the distant future they would probably cease to exist. . It was evident that there was constant erosion as we walked through the Walls of China, and it is often a fact that isnt brought up when broadly speaking of this beautiful place. . People are instructed not to enter the area without a guide or special permission to help protect the beautiful landscape and safeguard the heritage. .

04.01.2022 Mesmerized by Aries Tor at Twilight in Kosciuszko National Park . With sunset quickly passing as I rushed towards Aries Tor, all the harder after setting up camp after a long heavy walk along the Main Range Track and a quick rushed dinner, I finally stumbled upon the beautiful formation of Rocks known as Aries Tor - shot often by photographers with this spot as their main goal of the Kosciuszko range. . Safe to say, many years after first seeing this place in the archives, fi...nally being there in person was an awesome feeling. The scale of the huge rocky outcrops as well as the gentle alpine streams and pools surrounding the Tor was mesmerizing to say the least.
