Welcome to my gallery!
After living for 30 years in the cooler climates of southern NSW and Europe, I am very happy to be back in the sub-tropical warmth and enjoying the easy-going lifestyle of my homeland; beautiful Port Stephen’s (a popular destination for tourists and holidaymakers on NSW’s mid-north coast).
A gypsy at heart, I’m passionate about travelling, writing & photography. My work is based on personal experience & my speciality is the big backyard of
Australia & the South Pacific.
I’m pleased to co/host Port Stephens and Great Lakes group and the
Heritage Listed and Other Trust Sites of the World group. And, I am a proud member of the Australian Travel Photography and Writing Group.
I use Canon Photographic Equipment; 450D with kit lenses (25-50mm and 50-250mm).
Your comments on my work are always appreciated.
Thanks for dropping in.

I quickly eased back into the lifestyle I knew and loved; regular sun, sand, surf, sarongs, bare feet, morning walks along isolated beaches and a long cool drink as I watch the sun sink in the west.
Sun, sand, serenity….turquoise, clear, cool water….So close to civilisation, yet so far
