Not only is a kayak a great fitness machine but it gets me around the flat water rivers and lakes to enjoy and photograph their unique landscape, near on impossible otherwise.
With a cruising speed of around 50k/h on good going, the 4x4 bike and trailer carry photography gear, camp and tucker over considerable distances, allowing camping on site for the best light.
On the mountain bike I travel close enough to the ground and slow enough to see quite a bit that may otherwise be missed. Of course, the bike is mainly for travel on rural roads and tracks.
With a pack on my back, it's often not necessary to cover a great distance to capture the wilderness landscape. Anything from a few hundred metres to 15km can make a great day out in an isolated environment.
The Wilderness Outback website is an expanding collection of stories with photos (photo stories) describing my many trips with the camera. Some photo stories are of trips to local places, on family holidays or alone, while others stretch across Australia, often into remote areas when I leave the ute and travel on the ATV (all terrain vehicle) also known as a quadbike, camping out for a week at a time.
Note: You can also access the various Photo Stories category links via the drop down menu.
