I had some idea of the type of photos I wanted to take when I visited Paris but often my favourite shots are the ones that are taken off the cuff.  read more

Another shot taken while strolling down Main Beach on the Gold Coast last Saturday. The lighting was just right so I took a sneaky pic! read more

This weekend was the annual work weekend away. It was held at the Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa on the Gold Coast. We've stayed there a few times now, including last Xmas. That was unusual - waking up Christmas Day in an hotel. Not sure it's an experience we want to repeat, the place was packed. … read more

Le Roof Restaurant, Noumea, New Caledonia. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stop and eat here but it certainly looks interesting. read more

During our visit to Port Vila, Vanuatu, we took a full-day tour around the island (Efate). After meeting the Melanesian warriors in the morning we went for lunch at this beach. The weather by then was getting worse by the minute. I just managed to get a few shots in before the rain started, and … read more

Passengers queue for the tenders to take them back to the Pacific Dawn before leaving Lifou, New Caledonia. read more

On our recent cruise around the Pacific islands we docked at Port Vila, Vanuatu, and took a trip round the island of Efate. In this photo the Melanesian tribesman show off their traditional ways during a cultural visit to their village in the lush rain forests. read more

This is the first of a few pics I'm posting from our short trip out into the Pacific onboard the P&O cruise liner Pacific Dawn. The engines are running as the ship gets ready to depart Noumea, the capital city of New Caledonia. We only had a few hours in Noumea - enough to take a 'highlights' tour. … read more

The lights shine and the streets bustle in the Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong. read more

At Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place at 11.30 am daily from May to July, and on alternate dates throughout the rest of the year. When we last visited London it was September and we had just managed to finish a tour inside Buckingham Palace in time to catch the end of … read more

Another shot from our short stay in Paris. I took this standing on top of the Notre-Dame Cathedral peering through the cage, casting my eyes over Paris as the clouds and rain bear down. read more

A common site on the surf beaches of Australia. Surfers line up in the last of the afternoon sun, waiting for a perfect wave. This photo was taken during our visit to Coffs Harbour back in July. read more

We're lucky in South East Queensland to be surrounded by rainforests with some great walking tracks. This was taken at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve near Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. read more

A feature of our short time in Hong Kong was the nightly sight of the Aqua Luna sailing across Victoria Harbour. This hand-crafted, traditional Chinese junk is a popular option for a pleasure cruise across the harbour. read more

When we visited London last year the Shard had just been completed. The juxtaposition of the ancient Tower of London and the Shard demonstrates how the London landscape and skyline is forever changing. read more

Sunset over Maleny in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. read more

Another pic from last year's weekend in Paris. The lift cars ascending the Eiffel Tower. read more

When you gaze across the Blackall Range in South East Queensland you see the odd house dotted about half way up a mountain. It makes me wonder who would live in such an isolated location. It can't be easy if you need to nip to the shops for a pint of milk! read more

This is a photograph taken while exploring the grounds of Longleat House and Safari Park during our week with the family in England last year. I doubt that this is in any brochure for Longleat but I quite like that old battered shed look. I think someone might actually live in there. read more

Montville and Maleny in the Blackall Range of South East Queensland are popular among tourists hitting the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We visited both a couple of weeks ago. This is Montville - 400m above sea level. Enough distance away from the Sunshine Coast that you can see the fully majesty of … read more
