Russell Falls Tasmania

Photo taken at christmas 2006. There are two levels of falls, Whilst walking at the top level I noticed a wallaby crossing a stream but I was too late with the camera, It would have been a good photo!

The Entrance to The national park where Russell falls is loctaed. A beautiful fern walk.

Ferns and Stream Russell Falls Tasmania

Poor light affected most of the shots in Tasmania as it was generally overcast, windy and cold ( Whislt it was above 40 C in Sydney) Christmas 2006.

The southwest coast of Tasmania is like stepping back in time to when Australia was not the arid country that it is now.

November 18th: Cradle Mountain and Lake, Tasmania

The photograph was taken on a trip two years ago whilst spending christmas in Tasmania. Like most mountainous areas the sun tends to shine in the morning and by the early afternoon the clouds and rain move in making bad light for photography. The area is spectacular and you can walk around the lake in one hour. The animals are so used to humans that they rarely panic. The reason is that they are just left alone. This area is very special. It also the start of the overland walk to Lake St Cair. The walk takes about one week. I have a wide screen vista shot if any wishes to contact me.

Blue Mountains West of Sydney

This scene is from the Blue mountains which are about 1200 M above sea level and 80km west of Sydney. This shot was taken on the Lockly's Pylon walk just before the path disappears dramatically down into the valley. The mountains are not real mountains but plateaus and canyons. The area is quite vast and has some very remote walks with crystal clear streams and yes you can drink from them

16th November Russell Falls Tasmania

This photograph was taken on a trip to Tasmania, the smallest state in Australia. The area receives over 2 meters of rain per year and has a climate similar to that of England. The water falls are called "Russell Falls" and are located about 40 mins drive north west of Hobart the states capital city.

14th November

Todays picture is from the Watagan mountains, about 30 mins from Gosford. There is not much water in the area but this dell offers a plesant palce for a picnic. The area is often used for the Australian motor rally as well as by motor cross riders.

13th November Gosford North of Sydney

Gosford is a city just north of Sydney where I live. It is a small town and does not have the ethnic mix that Sydney has , which is a shame really as the multiculture affect is what makes Australia the country it is today. It does have a lovely landscape as it is surrounded by wooded hills and faces the water.

The picture shown is the middle waterfall at Sommersby falls which is a

bout 15 minutes drive from the city.

The other pictures are of the coastline on the walk to Maitland bay which is a secluded beach only available to bush walkers.

Thought for the day "Am I my brothers keeper" I would like to hear from anyone who might have a view on this.

From my perspective we are all connected in some way or another especially via Karma.

I hope everyones day is peaceful

A Cool Sunny day in Sydney

We have had some crazy weather here, 34 C one day and 17C the next. Soon Summer will come and boy will it be hot.

The photo is from Sommersby falls, not far from my home. One of the great difficulties here in Australia is the travelling distance between any pace of interest.

My First Day

Well I have never done a blog before so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I enjoy many interests, amongst the many I like Photography (wilderness) , travel, reading and spirituality.

I hope to post many images from Australia ( where I live) and around the world from my travels.

The picture is of the lower Sommersby falls where I live, 45 km north of Sydney.
