New Zealand South Island - Nov '118 Days in the South Island of New Zealand riding my newly built Cove G-spot bike in the Queenstown area. Words can't describe the beauty of this place well enough, so I will stick to the pictures! A 3 day trip heading north along Shotover river up to the Branches homestead was followed by a day in Queenstown bike park, then 7 mile point riding area along lake Wakatipu and a quick visit to Moke Lake and Glenorchy road on the last day before flying to Christchurch for a day, then back through Sydney. |
Pinnacles (WA) Jul '11Quick single day trip to the Pinnacles in Western Australiay a few hours drive north of Perth. The actual Pinnacles are found over a huge area in this mini-desert, but there is a special place for visitors where there;s lots of them together. Ideally this location should be shot at sunset/sunrise, but that probably means sleeping there ! |

A year at Lake Giles 2010/2011A year working at the Lake Giles Iron Ore exploration site has provided a lot of good memories, hard work and much learning. Though many people think the operation is 'way out in the bush' this is no desert, steep hills and small mountain ranges combine with eucalyptus forests and dense shrub-rich creeks to make quite a special place to be working in. Photographic oportunities are around every corner, but working from 5:30 till late evenings leaves little time for the imagination to prey on the land. Nevertheless I take every opportunity I have to document it! |
Istanbul - Apr '10A couple of days in Turkey, staying at a campsite on the northern Black Sea coast and spending a full day to browse the main attractions Istanbul has to offer. Needless to say Hagia Sofia was mesmerising, and the city itself enthralling with its bustling busy streets, markets and restaurants. |

Albany - Dec '09A couple of days 'down south' in Albany over the Christmas weekend. The town of Albany was nice enough and the tree top walk was impressive....but no pictures from the Mt Clarence downhill track where I got to play with a 2010 Demo 8 downhill bike! |
