About

G'day

As you can see from my blog, I enjoy taking photos ... preferably away off in the bush somewhere, the wilder the better.

I grew up in Kenya in East Africa, after which our family moved down to South Africa and I lived there for many years. Living in Kenya we were very close to the bush and game reserves and, since we lived on the edges of Nairobi, we had frequent contact with the wildlife, both around our home and when we went riding through the Ngong Forest, across the savannah, and up into the Ngong Hills.

Many of my African wildlife photos from the Serengeti were taken on safari in November 2012 and I certainly had a tremendous time as you can see.

In January and February I visited South Africa, mainly around Kwa-Zulu Natal, and I returned to Australiain March, 2013.

I have just spent five months exploring the Cape York Peninsula and had a great time on many of the old tracks including the Old Telegraph Track, the old Coach Road from Laura to Maytown and the CREB Track from Wujal Wujal to the village of Daintree.

I have the whole of Australia in front of me to explore and I now have my Landcruiser set up so I can travel slowly across some of the tracks such as the Gun-Barrel Highway and the Canning Stock Route.

Let's not forget the Simpson's desert and the Tanami Desert Track heading north west of Alice Springs. I have already travelled across the Gibb River Road a couple of times ... but I am still to get up to Mitchell Falls and the plateau.

The plan is to take plenty of photos and to try and do that as well as I possibly can. I have a few other things in mind, but mainly I want to just take it as it comes ... meet plenty of you good folk out there if I can ... and put my hand to whatever comes along.

That's enough for now. I think we will get to know each other more as I add to this site and we can exchange thoughts ... so please feel free to comment on what you see here. I will answer as soon as I can ... which will only be limited by my access to the Internet.

The very best regards to you
