Some of the damaged caused by the bushfires which started on Feb 7 near Kilmore East, Vic, and are currently still burning in the mountains near Lake Eildon. Photos were taken along the Melba Highway (from Yarra Glen to Glenburn), Break o' Day Road (Glenburn-Flowerdale), and the Whittlesea-Yea Road (Flowerdale).
Picture quality varies, as all shots were taken thru the windscreen...

Scenic views in the Seymour (Vic Aust) and surrounding districts, generally within an hour or two drive.

Updated Feb 5, 2004 - Tower Hill, located between Warrnambool and Port Fairy, formed around 25,000 years ago when rising magma came into contact with the subterranean water table. The violent explosion that followed created the crater (later filled by a lake) and the islands seen today. Tower Hill was declared Victoria's first National Park in 1892, and was declared a State Game Reserve in 1961.

Updated Feb 5, 2004 - and still more photos to come!

Located in south-west Victoria, Port Fairy is a small town located at the entrance to the Moyne River, about 30Km west of Warrnambool.

Updated Feb 4, 2004 - many phots replaced with newer (and better quality) photos!

Grampians National Park, renowned for rugged mountain ranges and stunning wildflower displays, is one of the State's most popular holiday destinations. Declared in 1984, the 167,000 hectare park is a home for almost a third of Victoria's plant species. The Grampians are located approx. 25Km south of Stawell, and around 270Km west of Melbourne.

Last updated: Feb 4, 2005: This area will be added-to whenever I manage to get some interesting weather photos. Items to be included will include: storms, clouds, sunsets, etc...

** Updated Feb 2004 ** Stawell is located in central western Victoria, about a third of the way between Ararat and Horsham. It is only a 10-15 minute drive from Hall's Gap and the Grampians mountain range, and is located directly above a major gold mine! It is also the home of the "Stawell Gift" foot race. Stawell makes a good home base for exploring this part of Vic, and is only about a 2 hour drive to Warnambool and the ocean in the south. There are several wineries in the district, including the Great Western winery (just down the highway towards Melbourne).

Some shots taken around the Blue Mountains, N.S.W. Photos were taken around the Leura/Katoomba area.

You've seen the movie, now here's the real thing - the radio telescopes at Parkes, N.S.W.

I had a day out in Sydney while passing through. All photos were taken from around Sydney Harbour...

Port Campbell National Park is located about 250Km south-west of Melbourne, on the Great Ocean Road. It is famous for shipwrecks, a wide range of coastal environments (including dunes, wetlands, coastal cliffs, limestone stacks and arches). Some of the well-known features photographed in this collection include the Port Campbell township, The Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge (what's left of it!), and The Grotto. This collection will be added-to (and older photos updated) on an on-going basis.

Cape Bridgewater is a volcanic headland, located about 20Kms from Portland at the western end of Bridgewater Bay. As well as an extensive beach around Bridgewater Bay, there is also Victoria's largest fur seal colony, limestone caves, lakes, and rugged coasal features.

The Princess Margaret Rose cave is located north of Nelson in S.W. Vic, just 2Km from the S.A. border. It is one of the many limestone caves in Lower Glenelg National Park, and contains stalactites, stalagmites, helictites and other spectacular limestone formations.
