Most photographs are presented geographically, for those who love a sense of place. Others are grouped in portfolios of favourite themes. Images may appear in more than one gallery or portfolio.
A million hectares of World Heritage wild country, and an intricate, resistant landscape of enormous diversity.
New South Wales beyond the Blue Mountains, other parts of Australia, New Zealand, Greenland and Iceland.
Wildlife photography is a whole other specialised pursuit, but sometimes in my travels opportunities present themselves and I try to make the most of them.

I’ve always admired fine monochrome photography, but never invested the time and effort needed for a darkroom. Now the ‘digital darkroom’ allows me to explore this classic medium.

Over the summer of 2025-2026, I walked in both Tasmania and New Zealand. In December it was a week-long Wilderness Society 'bioblitz' walk into the poorly protected Southwest Conservation Area to record its values. Then I made a shorter sortie to Mt Gould in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Both walks were spectacular, in different ways. Then in March I enjoyed journeys in the mountains of New Zealand's Kahurangi National Park, a new area for me - but with echoes of Fiordland. I first went to the Mt Owen massif in the Marino Mountains for four days, and then spent 10 days traversing the Herbert and Scarlett ranges with my frequent wilderness colleague Grant Dixon. The Kahurangi weather was exceptionally good, but with consequent water shortages up high.

In the northern dry season of 2026 a group of us went bushwalking in untracked parts of Queensland's White Mountains National Park and Carnarvon National Park (Salvator Rosa section). These sandstone landscapes are wildly different but equally rugged and spectacular. Negotiating the often intricate and rocky terrain was challenging, and so was finding enough water sources to support multi-day excursions. Also here, a few images from a rock climbing visit to Frog Buttress (not sandstone!), on Mount French in Moogerah Peaks National park on Queensland's Scenic Rim.
