Anyone who has been to Falls knows what an awesome event it really is! With New Years Eve being so over rated it is the perfect place to welcome in the new year with your mates in the beautiful surroundings of Erskine Falls near Lorne. Stay tuned! I will post a gallery and news about the event as it happens!!

Something Different!

Well it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything on here. I was away for a few days during this time for work which got me thinking about other photographs, other than music photos that I have taken.

I was actually on the Murray River with a school group as I am finishing a postgrad teaching degree at the moment and am a kayaking instructor. I took my camera along to take a few happy snaps of my students and started thinking about all the other pics that I have taken of great landscapes and people over the last couple of years.

'Murray Mirror' - This photo was taken on the Murray River last year near a place called Chowilla Station near Renmark in South Australia.


'Nildottie Sunrise' - The amazing sunrise that I woke up to one morning whilst completing a solo 650km kayaking trip.

The photos below were taken on my most recent trip to Nepal in 2003. I am a keen outdoors enthusiast and have travelled to many amazing places throughout the years.

'Sunset Beauty' - This photo was sunset on Macchupuchare taken from Annapurna Base Camp. Macchupuchare has never been climbed because it is a holy mountain, such a beautiful sight!

'Trekkers view' - Three trekkers enjoy the view of Annapurna (8091m) the 10th highest mountain in the world.

'Prayers Above' - Prayer flags flutter in the wind on this memorial at 4100m above sea level at Annupurna Base Camp.

'Chandra' - This is a portrait of my guide and good friend Chandra just below Annapurna Base Camp.

'Relaxing' - in Southern Nepal, Chitwan National Park

More photos can be found by looking in my photo gallery. l will add more as I sort through the back catalogue!
