In the spring of 2023 I had the opportunity for nearly two weeks of landscape photography travel and chose to head up into New South Wales. Unfortunately our lad, who was very keen to accompany me, picked up a cold at the last minute and had to sit this one out. So with a car packed and the open road before me, I headed north planning to focus on the central coast between Newcastle and Port Macquarie with some inland exploration as well.
So here we are again with another batch of images for the collection. This time my travels saw our boy and I exploring the south coast of New South Wales and a brief adventure into the Victorian Alps where we were met with mixed success mainly due to tide issues and a lack of light, though ultimately a few solid keepers.
Initially when planning this photography trip I had locations, distances and times of day all sorted for a big drive right through New South Wales. With nearly two weeks up our sleeves our boy and I were keen to set off. Then on the day we were due to depart the news was full of flood warnings. Major roads were closed and even whole regions inaccessible. Unwilling to let us head into danger my wife suggested we look elsewhere. The answer was simple enough, we would head west into South Australia instead. Massive drives and endless sunny days tend to be the norm in SA, making landscape photography a challenge, but we figured we would make the best of it.
The school summer holidays represented a chance for our boy to join me on a nice long dedicated photography trip. We had been talking about it from some months, planning where to go and waying up our chances of escaping the state in the face of rising Covid cases. In the end we decided to play it safe and stay in Victoria.
