I came across a lovely pair of cuttlefish while diving at Jervis Bay. One of them obligingly swam into clear water and I was able to darken the background using a closed aperture and strobe.

With all the recent rain on the south coast, the waterfalls are looking spectacular!

Finally! After many whale watching trips on Jervis Bay over the years, watching humpbacks sitting around… finally some action. A mother was teaching her calf to “tail slap”… lots of raised tails and massive splashing. A great day out!

If you’ve ever seen the iconic 1954 Australian movie “Back of Beyond”, then you will have heard of Tom Cruze, the mailman of the Birdsville track that took the arduous trip from Maree to Birdsville, every fortnight, in a clapped out old truck… this is that truck.

A favourite shot from our recent trip to the great Ocean Road. Although the weather was wet, it got the waterfalls flowing beautifully. This shot was taken at Beauchamp falls.

This little Australian Sea Lion pup at Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island was very interactive… There are “rules of engagement” for observing these animals around their breeding colony, but if the animal chooses to approach closer that the 10m limit, and you don’t move, then all is well. This little critter actually touched one of our group with its nose!

As dawn breaks at the Headlands, Austinmer, a surfer watches the breakers hit the rock platform and the morning sun reflecting off the spray.
