The Old Forts in Albany are an historical landmark, originally built in the late 1800′s they formed the first federal defence of Australia. It’s amazing to walk around and explore these old defences nestled in amongst the large boulders above Mt Clarence.
This image could tell a thousand stories, depending what you read into it. I thought it was one of those ‘lucky’ shot moments.
Taken from the ‘Tree in the Rock’ walk in the Porongurup Ranges. An example of some of the beautiful green forests of the Great Southern.
Found this little leafless orchid while down south, came across it in a sandy gravel pit where most of the surrounding area had been burnt out. I love going out orchid hunting when the season is right, often find some amazing flowers, they can be so small, delicate and colourful, yet you almost always find them it what seems like the harshest of areas.

This one was a little different. I just loved the texture the sunshine created in this image.
Took this image on the Denmark river.
I have to say this shot was totally worth getting my shoes wet for. Taken with an ND8 filter, 0.3sec shutter f/22.
Another wren shot. Got this little one in Albany along the Lake Seppings walk track.
Nanarup is just a short 30min drive from Albany town. A beautiful pristine beach located in the Two Peoples Bay National Park. Walking up the beach from the Taylor Inlet brings you to a tall windy stone staircase that leads up to the very top of the stone hill from where this picture was taken. A gorgeous sight, was well worth the breathless climb up.
A photo of me, my wife took as I was getting the shot.
A big thank you to my amazing wife, Melanie, for all the running around, chasing dwindling sunlight and climbing big hills she shared with me on this trip.
