Isla Gorge was a place I’d never heard of, but put it on my Queensland itinerary because I was going past. When you pull into the parking area it’s not very exciting. When you get out of the vehicle it’s not very exciting. However, with a photographer’s eye I viewed the landscape and determined that in the late afternoon it might be worth descending below the cliff and having a look. What a surprise! There were sandstone walls, colours and patterns to satisfy even the most jaded eye. Beautiful colours paraded before me and, in the end, I wished that I’d had more time at Isla Gorge.

In 2014 I moved to Tasmania and became a father. Of course, as a new parent, I don’t get much time to bushwalk. However, my partner understands my need to be out amongst nature and several months after the birth of our son she offered me a weekend away bushwalking. I took the opportunity, but because I am the stay-at-home-dad, it would be the first time away from my little mate since he was born. I chose to walk to South Cape Rivulet, which I had been to many years before, because it is a great walk and a beautiful spot to camp. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky that night and I took some photos of the sky, including capturing a faint aurora. The photo of the Milky Way through the forest canopy was my favourite. The title I gave the photo, “...leads you here...despite your destination...under the Milky Way tonight...” is a lyric from The Church’s song Under the Milky Way, and in some respects is a metaphor for my life at times.

Photograph taken from the clifftop near Talaterang Creek south of Talaterang Mountain looking down the Clyde River Valley, Pigeon House Mountain on the left and Byangee Walls on the right. A fantastic place to wake up on a weekend walk in the Budawangs.

A late departure for a loop over Dolly Hill, Calders, the Beehive and Arrowsmith meant I would be overnighting. And a detour to collect water meant I hit this ridge at sunset, desperately looking for somewhere to pitch for the night. And there was this one spot amongst the buttongrass, quartzite outcroppings and low scrub that was juuuussst big enough for the tent. And then, of course, there was that light, and the view past Calders and Arrowsmith to the Frenchman ...

This Kookaburra had just been taking a bath in a small pool of water and I managed to capture this photograph of it taking flight, dripping wet. After this it sat on a tree branch and gave itself a good shake then started preening as it dried out.
