A few nights back with a very clear sunset on the a redesigned part of the now dismantled Hornibrook Highway/Bridge between Sandgate and Redcliffe. The tide was out and I was the only person standing out there. #hornibrookbridge #5dsr #canonaustralia #su

The setting sun at ground level across the shores of Lake Boomanjin at the southern end of Fraser Island, Great Sandy National Park. This was in the middle of winter over a year ago, perfect weather. #qldparks #lakeboomanjin #fraserisland #greatsandynati

The blue ocean view from the top of Badjala Sandblow (massive size) on a perfect day at Fraser Island, Great Sandy National National Park. Accessible along the Fraser Island Great Walk. 2015 #fraserisland #latergram #badjalasandblow #oceanview #greatsand

Alpine water fern (Blechnum penna-marina) in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. Whilst I had some time with my macro lens I began looking at the ferns on my recent visit to New Zealand and discovered this lovely fern species. #blechnumpennamarina #alpinewater

Moonrise and sunset over the hills of The Stack Conservation Area. There is a great looking walk you can take that traverses the ridges along south west from Roys Peak. Makes for a good reason to return to the Wanaka region. New Zealand #thestackconserva

In February this year I was working at Byron Bay in a lovely bathroom interior with @elan.essentials and @letslivelarge . We put our model into a milk bath for this interior shot. Just showing some other side of the photography work I do and enjoy. @elan

Uplifted rock known as Torlesse Greywacke in Aspiring National Park. These are some of the youngest mountains in the world. The geometry of some of the rock in the area near Rob Roy glacier is captivatingly awesome. It has been suggested that this rock or

Deciduous beech (Nothofagus gunnii) leaves fallen from the previous winter on the flanks of The Acropolis in Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park. The tree (also known as fagus) grows only to about 2m in height but turns a spectacular colour befo

Fern lined trail goodness of the Governor Track in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. So this is the only walk you can take from the Mt Cook village area where you literally will not see a mountain as you're surrounded by remnant forest and vegetation. Thank g

Sutherland Falls, Fiordland National Park. These falls are some kind of roaring dragon when you get close enough to them, spraying water in every direction as they hit rock. Dropping 580m makes it one of the tallest falls in New Zealand. From 2015 #arthu

Amanda @ryk_on rolling out from under the concrete structure of the Ted Smout Memorial bridge at Redcliffe. Recent early morning shoot for @queenofthemtn I like the lines and urban structure of this area with it being so open and nearby the water, makes

The Supreme Court building in Brisbane city early on a weekend. I was borrowing a Canon 17mm tilt/shift lens recently (thanks to Canon CPS) and tried it out on some architecture (you have to with this lens). It is an incredible lens to use. The straight l

@phila_holmes crossing Blackfellow Creek ,Glen Rock State Forest. There are a couple of trails to explore out there, the best for riding a mountainbike (or horse) is the Blackfellow Creek Trail. Be prepared to get wet feet as after recent floods there is

Hut-life no. 9 The final image in this series..... (so far). Mueller Hut under the stars and wind blown clouds, 1800m high in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. The streams of light are head-torches of people visiting the loo later at night. Before bed I wen

Hut-life no. 8 When the sign reads 'for emergency only' then probably best to take the advice and follow the directions. This is Seamans Hut in Kosciuszko National Park just after sunset. A well equipped hut (without bunks) which is good for day use and

Hut-life no. 7 Getting hungry in the hut???? This is dinner for three people that I carried for us on an overnighter at the Mueller Hut. We have here a really tasty lentil dhal and a massaman curry from the Tasmanian company Strive Food. We ate it in 2

Hut-life no. 6 The outhouse, toilet, loo-with-view, dunny, crapper etc. Always are detached from a hut in my experience. This photo really is ordinary but was the only way I could photograph such a scene. Through the glass window of Mueller Hut looking a

Hut-life no. 5 Sleeping arrangements of Clinton Hut along the Milford Track. Another stand out hut setup, where you get a matress provided for you. It is basic but it sure is comfortable enough. BYO your sleeping bag and pillow of course. Other huts are

Hut-life no. 4 Tahune hut, perched high up next to Frenchmans Cap in Tasmania. When you walk most of the day while it is raining and arrive at a hut it sometime looks like a dirty laundry shop and smells just as bad. I got to this hut and was mostly soak

Hut-life no. 3 In the case of inclement weather you may just end up staying in a hut for longer than you would like. We only stayed an extra 24 hours here. This is taken inside the Charles King Hut, Melaleuca, way down at the bottom of Tasmania. There is

Hut-life no. 2 This is a hut briefing that you may encounter in New Zealand. The girl standing is a volunteer (Nicola) who was on a week long stint at the hut as a warsen. Not all huts have wardens in them, most don't. The time here is about 6pm in the me

@eonblue24 & @wendizzzzle taking up the very popular photo spot on the side of Roys Peak in The Stack Conservation Area this is not actually the true top of Roys Peak, that is way further up the 'hill'. #docgovtnz #latergram #lovewanaka #lakewanaka #vsco

The road to the mountains. Hooker Valley Road, it is a NO EXIT road. We exited out of the Hooker Valley at night and captured a clear starry night above Mt Sefton and the Footstool. Look close and you may see the light on the mountain face, that being lit

Besides the horrific amount of mosquitos attacking us two weeks ago, this shoot on Sorceress trail at Bayview for @queenofthemtn with these two young ladies was great fun. @queenofthemtn are now doing MTB apparel in the range. 👍👍from me.

It is hard to comprehend the amount of ice hanging off the side of the mountains in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. My friend gives some scale to the smaller glaciers on the side of Mt Sefton which flow into the larger Mueller Glacier below (out of picture

Lake Manapouri. Throwback to 2015 when I was in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. The amount of rain these mountains in Fiordland receive is ridiculously high. I will be back in the mountains of NZ pretty soon and I can't wait to see what those mounta

The largest fungi like this I have ever seen, it was the size of a dinner plate, soft and slimy. Our recent weather is making for some good growing opportunity in the rainforest of D'Aguilar National Park. #latergram #fungi #daguilarnationalpark #flora #
