ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER

G’DAY AND WELCOME

I’m delighted to have the opportunity to tell you about my work, to introduce you to my books, and to offer you a glimpse into my extensive collection of photos of Australia.

Photography and writing have been my passions and my business for many years, and as someone who’s addicted to these two wondrous forms of art, a day without a camera or a pen in my hand is almost as enthralling as a wet weekend in a broom cupboard.


MY PHOTOS AND BOOKS

During the many years of my work as a journalist and travel writer my articles and images were published in newspapers and magazines in countries around the world, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Britain, and New Zealand. My photos have also been used in advertising and packaging material, on calendars, on web sites, in television programmes, and in many books.

It wasn’t until 2020 that I veered off in a new direction and began to produce more extensive literary works, and since then I have written six books, some of which relate to Australian wildlife, while others cover the topic of gardening. Hundreds of ,my images have been used to illustrate each of these books, which have been published by New Holland Publishers and that are available from bookshops and online retailers.

Now that you’re here, take some time to relax, sit back in comfort, put your feet up, and browse through the images in the site’s numerous and diverse PHOTO GALLERIES.

Read the extracts from my books too, and I guarantee that it will be time well spent and that any hint of stress will be vanquished from your life as quickly as an excess of mayonnaise dribbles from a sandwich.

I’m sure that a smile of pleasure will creep across your face as you gaze at photographs of Australia that are as awe-inspiring and diverse as the Australian landscape itself, for here you’ll discover spectacular pictures of the outback, photos of colourful birds and unique animals in their natural habitats, and images of wildflowers that daub the landscape with their palette of gaudy colours.

You can enjoy a virtual tour of Australia’s spectacular national parks and beaches, explore meandering rivers and outback streams too, or take a glimpse at some of this great continent’s sprawling cities and picturesque historic villages. And there are many more images to come, with additional categories of photos to be added in the coming weeks. I hope that you’ll come back again soon – and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with what you discover here, now, and in the future, as this site continues to evolve.


​I look forward to hearing from you, but please remember, if you find errors relating to the creation of this website, (and I’m sure you will,) that I am a writer and a photographer, not a computer nerd.
