The other day, accompanied by my friend David Cook, I went on a photography trip to Point Hicks in Victoria’s Croajingolong National Park.

Bread rising in the camp oven prior to baking. Ah, there’s nothing like campfire tucker!

Wilderness photography on the Thurra Dunes in Croajingolong National Park is a great experience, the sights enough to blow a landscape photographer’s mind.

Running eastward toward the summit of Thurra Dunes, this feature stands out in it’s rugged complexity.

Well, we’re off on a photography and camping trip next week, to Thurra Dunes in Croajingolong National Park, situated in East Gipsland, Victoria.

It’s a coastal park and boasts the second highest sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere at 140 metres. The higher sand dunes are in Namibia and they’re not all that much higher, so […]

On a previous trip to Red Lake, the wind, the dust and the flies made it unbearable. But the few quick photos that I’d taken were worthwhile and a look about had revealed a stark and captivating landscape with the dead, native pines, red sandhills, the barron, red lake bed and the brilliant blue sky […]

The sand ridges are rich with an abundance of plant life from the arid region trees to little wildflowers.
Native pine is common in the sand ridge country of Andamooka. Unlike the imported pine varieties, native pine doesn’r rot readily. In fact, many of the original fence lines, made of native pine are still standing firm […]

The camping gear boxes mounted on the top level of the ATV camp trailer have a volume about half that of a 6 x 4 foot camping trailer.

ATV camp trailer with a gross weight of 250kg.
That’s not bad space for one wilderness traveler.
The heavy camping supplies will be on the trailer floor, keeping the centre […]

With a spare ATV wheel mounted on the back of the trailer, I’ll be right should I puncture a tyre on the ATV or the trailer.

The six wheels on the ATV and camping gear trailer are interchangeable. The front, narrower rims with smaller tyres are the odd ones out, but the hole pattern is the […]

I should put new tyres on the ATV before my coming wilderness travel photography trip.

Front ATV tyres are a bit old.
But funds are short. I’ll have to take the punt and hope the tyres that I have last the distance.
The ATV front tyres are rather worn down and also are a bit cracked and brittle […]

Wilderness photography trip to outback South Australia is getting closer and the preparations are coming together.
The boxes are finished and mounted on the ATV trailer for a practice. The next step will be to load up the camping gear boxes for a practice at […]
