The Mount Barker cycle and walking path, Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This image has had the ‘Michael Orton’ effect applied. I thank my mother, Maureen for unknowingly being the figure in this image.
For a couple of days I could see a tail or a paw, or once a whole arm, coming out of Mrs Fatbum’s pouch, indicating that the baby was ready to enter the world – and then last night I took my camera out, hoping to catch a sight of a paw or a tail – and there was the whole baby, perched on Mrs Fatbum’s back, having its first Big Night Out! JUST FEATURED in Topshelf Wild Life and Nature Art – many thanks to group moderators for choosing Mrs Fatbum and her gorgeous baby!!!

A beautiful forest in the wonderful Warrawong Sanctuary in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. The colour and lighting is almost untouched in post production as the trees are in a valley with afternoon soft light just making the bark glow almost metallic. A wonderful place to visit during the week when it is quiet. If you are lucky you may even see a platypus.

Taken at the Willunga Farmers Market which is held every Saturday morning in the beautiful town of Willunga South Australia.
Tonight the new sign at the entrance to our town was lit up. The colours across each letter slowly change, hence I thought this could be best represented in a 3 framed HDR with time exposure of upto 30 seconds.

‘Wairoa’ was previously the home of ‘Marbury School’. It was a location that was central to my life for around 26 years as my former school and work place and as such, is a place that holds an infinite number of memories for me. The property was originally purchased by William Austin Horn in 1888, on which he then built the two-story Victorian mansion. The gardens are over 100 years old and are one of the last remaining Victorian style pleasure gardens to be found in the Adelaide Hills. Wairoa was also used as a location in Peter Weir’s classic film adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s novel ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’. As a 5 year old student, I remember sitting on the lawns above Wairoa watching them film :)
