I went down to Wilsons Prom for two days over the Melbourne Cup long weekend and got a few nice pix. This particular trip for me was unique due to the fact that 140mm of rain fell the day I arrived causing many usually dry creeks to flow vigorously. I left for Waterloo Bay from Telegraph saddle at 9:00pm in the rain optomistically hoping for a spectacular return of Sol. Arriving after midnight the spectacular sunrise and many new creeks did not disappoint.

I found this remarkable sight within half an hour of my arrival at Wilsons Promontory from Melbourne on a hot summers day at the Southern end of this popular beach. It never ceases to amaze me how nature can place such amazing elements together. This spot must be passed by thousands of people every year but I dare say that few have ever stopped at this particular spot to soak up the vista . For me this illustrates one of the things I really love about being a nature photographer. The mindset required to see the extraordinary within the common place, quite literally changes the way you interact with your surroundings. It requires you to really be in tune with a place and in a more tangible way, to become a part of the landscape, rather than a mere passer by.

All Blues is one of my favourite tracks off Miles Davis’s landmark album ‘Kind of Blue’. This shot being all things blue I thought it appropriate. It was taken at the scene of many of my crimes at Wilsons Promontory in Victoria, Australia. I can’t imagine a simpler shot but for me it just works. It is photoshop free – impossible to improve on ol’ mother nature in this one. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery.

The picturesque bank on the opposite side of Tidal River to the bustling summer metropolis of Tidal River Camping Ground is amongst the most photographed scenes at the Prom. This particular morning the light was overcast and dull but the reflections were perfect in the tanin stained waters. As I remember I used a two stop grad filter to even up the reflection as they are always darker than their mirror opposites. A beautiful spot that is definitely worth a visit. This picture gave me my first framed print sale (large) on the bub. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

As is the case with many of my shots there is a considerable time gap between finding a good location for an image and shooting it. I found this spot in March 2007 on an overcast day completely unsuitable for photography. I finally returned in November 2007 to capture the shot I had envisaged all those months before. On this occassion the light surpassed my expectations with the results being worth the wait. Taken on Pillar Point at Wilsons Promontory.

This shot happened quite serendipitously while taking another shot (see Dawn – Sealers Cove). For me it perfectly encapsulates the ideal of what our relationship with nature should be. A simple, childlike, and playful appreciation of natures beauty both mentally and physically.

as always please click on the image for a better view.. A windy evening looking up Tidal river towards the cloud capped Mt. Latrobe. With any chance of nice light gone because of the weather. I had a perception that the very strong winds could add to a moody image by creating leading lines on the river surface with a longer exposure. I hope you like the resultant photograph. / / / / Fuji G617 – no cropping,no stitching.

I found this Grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis) at Half Way Hut at Wilsons Promontory NP after the 2005 bush fires. The Grass tree like many Australian plants needs fire to propagate effectively. Under normal conditions it is rare for the flower to form, after fire however it is a different story with every grasstree in sight sporting an amazing ‘kangaroo tail’ from its mop. Usually they are straight as a die so to find such a shapely specimen really grabbed my attention. Finding a nice angle with which to show it off proved a little more problematic. After much chin scratching and walking around in circles I ended up with my back in the dirt where I eventually found a nice juxtaposition of the ‘tail’ with the sky without trees intruding into the frame in inappropriate spots… click.

I took this shot on an amazing morning at the Cathedral end of 5 Mile Beach at Wilsons Promontory. “The gorgeous sunrise necessitated another early photographic session, madly trying to capture everything in the magic oh so short minutes of glorious light. Soon after this, I was trudging along the soft sand of high tide in the morning heat. With my goal always in view, it felt like I’d been walking for an eternity without actually getting anywhere. Eventually, however, I did arrive and relaxed for an hour and a half while the tide receded to a more acceptable place for my traverse around the rocks.” Excerpt from my Tour de Prom article.

Taken the same evening as Little Oberon Sunset. An amazing evening in an amazing place. It was so dull and overcast at one stage I thought I’d set up my tent and cook my dinner before it got dark rather than spend it on the nearby knoll the light seemed so uninspiring. Glad I didn’t.

I watched this storm front get closer and closer, being accompanied by good light and a break in the clouds I waited on top of this exposed summit and was taken by surprise when it actually hit. One moment calm the next wind, sun and pelting rain with the extreme variance in light that you can see.

As a keen rock-climber Mt Bishop has always held a slightly mythical fascination for me. Rock-climbers have named the giant tor on its peak ‘whale rock’ and the thinner of the two cracks on its left hand side has a classic grade 21 rock climb up it called ‘Cachalot’ which was the first significant free climb route completed at the Prom in 1977. I haven’t actually climbed it but some lines are just so bold and perfect that they just seem to capture the imagination. On a purely aesthetic level I find its combination of granite slabs, tors and vegetation very striking and due to its sentinel like presence guarding the road approach to Tidal River, it is a mountain that every Prom visitor is familiar with. For many the sight of it signifies the moment when you know you’ve returned to the magical place that is the Prom. Mt Bishop was named after Captain Charles Bishop a business partner of George Bass who commenced decimating the seal population in 1799 a year after Bass was the first European to visit the Prom.
