I’ve just returned from hiking the Table Top Track in Litchfield. The hike is a 39km, multi-day bushwalk, in a loop around the tabletop of Litchfield National Park.

Kakadu National Park Intro
I’m always looking for places to go in the Top End region, new places to explore and photograph. I was recently looking for some information on Maguk (or Barramundi Gorge) in Kakadu National Park and although could find the basics from the Parks Australia website – http://www.parksaustralia.gov.au/kakadu/ – I found it difficult to find “real…
First Impressions – Tamron 150-600mm F5-6.3
A few weeks ago I bought the new Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3 Di VC USD lens to use on my Canon 5D Mark III. I mainly shoot landscape and nature photography, and this lens was an upgrade from my Canon 300mm F4 L lens mainly for use on birds and other wildlife. The zoom range may…
Post Processing Workflow (2)
It’s been a while since I posted a work-through of a particular photo. My processing techniquye and style has probably evolved quite a bit since then, so I thought it time to do another one.
Edith Falls – the final day of the Jatbula Trail
We ended our 6 day walk with the final 5km down from Sweetwater Pools to Edith Falls. Edith Falls was a welcome site at the end of the walk – it’s probably one of my favourite swimming/relaxing spots in the Top End! It also has great hot showers and flushing toilets, and this year the…
Jatbula Trail – Part 3
Day 4 was the big day on the Jatbula trail – 17km. The walk was broken up in to two chunks, 12km and 5km with a stop at Edith River crossing after the first 12km. We got through the first 12km a supersonic speed and arrived at Edith River crossing when we thought we still…
Jatbula Trail – Part 2
Day 2 was a longer day than the first, travelling across the top of the escarpment. This day ended at Crystal Falls as the campground, although we actually didn’t see any “falls” until the walk the following morning. This beautiful creek was our home for the night, with our tent pitched right next to the…
Jatbula Trail – Part 1
I’ve just returned from a hike in the Katherine region known as the Jatbula trail – a combined photo-trip/remote camping getaway! This walk is the first multi-day bush walk I’ve done in years and the first one my partner had ever done. The first thing I have to say about the Jatbula is that it…
First impressions – the new Canon 16-35mm F4 L lens
I’ve been using a Canon 5D Mark III since their release in 2013 (I think it was?!), along with a 17-40mm F4 L Canon lens. I’ve never been happy with that lens – it felt like a reduction in quality from where I had previously come (I was using a Canon 450D and a Sigma…
Gunlom Infinity Pools, Kakadu National Park
Last weekend was a public holiday here in the Northern Territory, and due to our light rain levels this year the Kakadu rangers and road-workers managed to get the awesome Gunlom pools open to visitors! My partner and I headed out there on it’s opening night, and camped for a couple of days enjoying the…
