Cape to Cape Track - Part 2: Moses Rock To North Point, Gracetown

The past weekend we set out, once again, to tackle another stage of the Cape-to-Cape track that runs from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin or vice versa. It's an amazing walk with so many cool things to see that some have dubbed it the Great Ocean Road of Western Australia. 

2015-01-18 The Margaret River Airport

Ok we're starting this post off with some old cars but don't just go back to playing candy crush! The airport pics are further down... :) These old car wrecks are scattered around the outside of Margs' airport and surely greet all arrivals with a feeling of "Welcome to the Wild Wild West!" :)

Silent Sentries

Despite multiple visits to this quiet place, I always get inspired and amazed by the sight of these trees in the middle of the Margaret River.

Hamelin Harmony

What a start in the new year! Oh, and happy new year to you all!! :)

Since we've been very(very!) busy in the last days of 2014 with planning, renovating and moving into our new place I haven't gotten the chance to take any pictures before the end of the year. So to turn things around a little bit, I headed down south to Hamelin Bay on the evening of Januray 1st to enjoy and photograph the first sunset of the year(I could have done the first sunrise but that normally involves getting up and unreasonable hours ;) )

Cascades on the Margaret River

 With all  the trouble my computer and the hard drives are giving me a the moment, I find it hard to dedicate time to go out and shoot. Just yesterday, while running a backup, my PC crashed repeatedly, until I found out that it was the backup software, of all things, that caused the issues...

Jane Brook in the hills of Perth

Last night I felt the urge to go out and do some little exploring so I grabbed my gear(well, most of it!) and hit the road. I knew that John Forrest National Park borders on our suburbs so it should be pretty easy to find a track that leads into the NP...

Vintage Lilies And Indiana Bridges

Although the Arum Lilies are a real "predator" for the local forests, they certainly make for some fascinating subjects. Currently the forests around Margaret River are packed full with Arum Lilies and walking through these forests makes you feel like you're in a dream...

Flowers and, um... Cow-ers!?

 You gotta love the variety of the Australian outdoors...

Lake Monger, Perth, Western Australia Aug 2014

Perth CBD as seen from the north shore of Lake Monger

I've been meaning to photograph Lake Monger for a long time now. In fact for almost two years! Last Wednesday I had a day off and decided to use this chance to check out the lake and it's stunning vistas on Perth CBD with my good mate Mark...

Lesmurdie Falls, re-visited

Guildford Grammar

Guildford Grammar Chapel - I wanted to shoot this location for over a year now... ironically it's really just 5 minutes down the road from where I live but I always end up shooting other locations further afield.

Avon Descent 2014 - Bells Rapids Section

Wow, what a day!

The water levels of the Swan River are the highest in a decade, the weather was absolutely perfect - blue skies and not a single cloud - and the competitors of the 42nd annual Avon Descent provided a spectacular and thrilling show for hundreds of visitors...

Pines Trail, Margaret River July '14

These are just a few quick snaps from a recent stroll through the pine plantations and forests around Margaret River

Lesmurdie Falls National Park 24/07/2014

Last Thursday I went out on yet again another spontaneous little trip. I have heard a few of my mates at work talk about Lesmurdie Falls and thought I'd check it out...

The Eagle View Walk, John Forrest National Park

Hello folks, it;s that time of the week again and I proudly bring you my latest images from the Eagle View Trail in John Forrest National Park near Mundaring.

The Pinnacles, June 2014

 Last weekend I received a visitor from Germany, a friend whom I knew for over ten years now, and we decided spontaneously to head up to the Pinnacles to marvel at this otherworldly place out in the bush. I've been to the Pinnacles before, about 5 years ago, but it amazed me just like the first time I was there...

Far, far away on a Mountain called "Dale"

Don't you just love spontaneous road-trips? I do. And I particularly love Perth, because - despite what a lot of people say about Perth being a smallish and boring City -there's loads of stuff to see and do, if you do your homework and search a little bit online! There are plenty of interesting, and mostly less traveled places within 60-90 minutes from the CBD.
