I have been living in North Queensland since 1984 and visiting it regularly since 1975. One of my personal goals has been to become an authority on the out of the way places - the true North Queensland that many visitors hear about and come to see but rarely find anything more than the well worn tourist trails.
While this satisfies many, there is a vast, almost untouched landscape providing innumerable destinations where it is easy to feel immersed in a wilderness remote from regular human visitation. Hand in hand with this goal has been the objective of establishing the best wilderness image library of this part of the world.
I haven't succumbed to the temptation of travelling further afield as many photographers feel obliged to do once they feel they are in need of further inspiration. I believe in sticking with the territory you know - and to get to know it better. The variety of landscapes within a short drive from my home base in Kuranda is enormous and within these few pages I hope I can give you appreciation of this country. Call me anytime as I am always enthusiastic to talk about "my country"
