More rocks at Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is pretty. It is the home of the Big Banana – the first of Australia’s Big Things – and is one of the fastest growing regional centres. The allure of Coffs Harbour is the quality of life that it offers its residents along with the mostly pleasant climate. This shot was taken from [...]
Coffs Harbour
Just a quick post for today… more rocks at Coffs Harbour, taken ofcourse, during my trip there in November. I was mostly playing around with long exposures and a neutral density filter.

The Rocks at Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a sleepy little town tucked away between Sydney and the Gold Coast. Its appeal is something called the Big Banana – which is really the sculpture of a very large fruit on top of a shack. The coastal route that runs along the Pacific Ocean from Melbourne to Brisbane has a range [...]
Love bugs
When you take care of things, they tend to last a lifetime. Take these Volkswagen buses… classics in their own right, and restored to serve as wedding vehicles for a couple that was tying the knot in Coffs Harbour NSW earlier in November 2010. The flawless paint jobs and shiny chrome are testimony to the [...]
Eastern light
At the helm of a small coastal town known mostly for its surf culture, resident hippies and breathtaking beaches, Byron Bay’s most iconic claim to fame is its lighthouse which is perched close to the easternmost point on mainland Australia. The lighthouse is easily accessible by road 24 hours a day. You can drive up [...]
St. Kilda South Pier
Not quite as impressive as its cousin that extends out into Port Philip Bay a few hundred metres to the north, this humble little pier is narrow and not for the faint hearted when it comes to balance. With a boardwalk that is comfortable for a single adult (and that becomes a bit of a [...]
Rakaia Gorge and the Cantebury Plains
Located in the Cantebury Plains, the Rakaia Gorge has been carved by the Rakaia River which origins from the melting ice caps of Mt. Sommers. The Gorge itself comes to a dramatic opening at this point on the Cantebury Plains where one can see the braided rivers that course through its floor and provide a [...]
Breakfast of Champions
A guy’s gotta eat. After a week of self imposed (or should I say, “self inflicted”) confinement to the house, I was left with nothing to eat for brekkie on Sunday morning. Undeterred, I woke up, showered, got dressed and headed off to one of the favourite hangouts of the members of my photography club [...]
Dream backyard
What would be your dream backyard? How you you like to be able to wake up every morning to see something like this? These homes at Wanaka wake up every morning to Mt. Aspiring in the West which overlooks Lake Wanaka fed by its glacial run-off. What would you like to wake up to every [...]
Milford Sound revisited
A somewhat different look at Milford Sound and a rejoinder from a previous post of mine. Milford Sound would remain on every tourists list of places to visit in the South Island, and is perhaps one of the best known fjords in New Zealand’s Fjorlands National Park. I chanced upon a somewhat different view of [...]
The Chasm
New Zealand’s South Island is rugged and well watered, thanks to the relief rain that the island receives from the weather systems generated by the Southern Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The rainfall has augmented glacier-fed streams throughout the island, which are prevalent throughout the Fjordland’s National Park. The Chasm is one of the most [...]
Milford Sound
The fjordlands of New Zealand’s South Island are a regular crowd-puller and tourist attraction. To give you an example of what the fjordlands are, they are access to the sea that comes right up against the foot of significantly tall moutains surrounding them. The drive to Milford Sound is especially interesting in that while negotiating [...]
