Another little collection of images to present, this time from two trips. The first was a family adventure, close to home, only a short drive down to the ever popular Grampians. In an almost unheard of move I managed to open my wallet and pay for accommodation rather than tent it. I chose the cheapest room I could find of course, but with mountains right outside the door no one cared if the towels weren’t fluffy enough. We had a lovely time of it, despite the weather flipping between downpours and baking heat.

This little collection of work was the net result of a winter trip into Kosciuszko and Buffalo National Parks, two of my favourite haunts.

Most of the planning went into getting into Cascade Hut and out again in one piece. About 22km return from the Alpine Way road it’s a great mountain bike ride in summer, but in winter things get a little more serious. Cross country skiing or snow shoeing will get you there and out in one big day. For me it was 9 hours return carrying heavy camera gear and including a good hour for the photo-shoot.

Late autumn and early winter provided me with some wonderful photographic opportunities. This series of images come from several short trips where I managed to both revisit some old favourites and discover new scenes.

I think the best shot of the collection shows off the autumn hues at Pickerings Hut near Mansfield. Each time I’d checked it out in the past the trees were not in form, or the weather was against me. This time luck was on my side with a light early morning rain easing off and really enriching those colours.

South Australia is deceptively larger than it seems from a quick glance at a map. There are some brilliant places to visit, but they tend to be separated by endless hours of driving. With this thought in mind I decided to focus most of my efforts in one area rather than my usual pattern of erratic and widespread travel. Thus it was that the wonderfully dramatic Flinders Ranges became my home for a week.
