The beautiful Dangar Falls near Dorrigo in Northern New South Wales. I have a few photos of these falls but this one shows more of the scenery above the falls.

The delicate brushbox flower against a background of a jade plant. I have previously photographed this beauty against a black background. As the tree flowered this summer, I thought I'd try it against something more colourful. Camera: Canon 5D MkIII Location: Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Kangaroo beer time

What to do when it's pouring rain? Go hiking in the rainforest, of course! At least, that's what I did last weekend when all the coastal locations I'd planned to take photos in were rained out. This waterfall, Minnamurra Falls, was about a 4.2km roundtrip walk along very easy boardwalks, and it was definitely worth the walk. The way it created patterns as it fell off the cliff made it one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen recently.

I loved this relic of the railway at Newnes seen on a trip to Wollemi National Park a few years ago. Photographed with a Canon 400D at Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia. Original image replaced with tonemapped Photomatix HDR version. Newnes, an abandoned oil shale mining site of the Wolgan Valley, is located in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. The site that was operational in the early 20th century is now partly surrounded by Wollemi National Park. The settlement was originally built by the Commonwealth Oil Corporation. A tunnel on the railway has survived as the Newnes glow worm tunnel, which has become something of a tourist attraction. *Feature* Featured Men Photographers, April 2017. ...

The hike to the Ruined Castle is a strenuous one but after my first trip there a few years ago was cut short by a thunderstorm, resulting in few photos, I was determined to return. Today was very sunny so a bit of HDR was needed to cut down the contrasts. Ruined Castle, near Katoomba, Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia.

Somersby Falls is in the Brisbane Waters National Park near Gosford in New South Wales, Australia. After almost a week of rain, the waterfalls in this area were pumping pretty well.

Christmas Time at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, NSW, Australia

After walking across the bridge the previous week from North Sydney & seeing how good the Opera House looked from there with the Vivid Festival lights, I decided to spend a bit of time & wait for some of my favourite colours. It was cold & the high wind was icy, but I was determined to make the trip worthwhile. I liked the lights behind the Opera House as well. Vivid Sydney 2011 ran till June 13 with a fascinating & colourful display of moving lights over the sails of the Opera House. This is the view from the stairs of the Harbour Bridge at The Rocks. I couldn't resist adding yet another of this great sight especially with these colours. With art supplied by French collective Superbien, this years display is more dynamic & ...

Just a little something I wrapped for all my great Redbubble & Facebook friends. Christmas lights projected onto St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia. Taken with an umbrella shielding the camera from a shower. Just after I took these photos the Sydney dry spell was broken with heavy rain. Canon 400D, Sydney, NSW, Australia. I sure was rapt by the great colours & graphics here. Thanks to the artistic folk for the great show. *Features* A Place To Call Home, Dec 2012. Theme Thursday, Feature Friday, Dec 2012.

Towards the end of the National Pass walking track is this vista of Wentworth Falls. With some water it makes a great sight.

The beautiful Sydney Harbour on a mild autumn day with the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House & a vintage ferry heading to Luna Park to the right of this scene. Location: Milson's Point, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Camera: Canon 5D Mk III.

Photographed with Canon 400D, ISO 100, F22, 2 seconds, RAW Mode. To get to this place you have to bend way down as you pass through the low rock ceiling behind the falls. Both times I needed to plant a hand in the mud to stop myself falling & picked up some mud that was almost as orange as my shirt & more orange than my hair ! I love the contrast of dark rock & artistically splashing white water.
