There’s nothing better than hitting the open road and exploring somewhere new… even more so if you can do it from the comfort and ease of an RV. So when the opportunity to explore the Mackay region in our very own Maui Motorhome came up, we jumped on it. On our epic 5 day road …

Uluru
Nothing conjures up images of Australia’s outback more so than Uluru (Ayers Rock). And by whatever means you arrive in the red centre, you can’t help but scan the horizon for that distinctive, ochre-coloured formation jutting out of the surrounding desert. And so it was… me staring excitedly out my airline window, looking for that …
Cardwell Foreshore
When Cyclone Yasi unleashed on the coastal town of Cardwell in February 2011, trees were ripped up, houses were destroyed and the town’s foreshore – a popular stop for travellers between Cairns and Townsville – was swallowed up by the accompanying storm surge. It was very much a small community smashed up beyond recognition. Three …
Saibai Island
In terms of remoteness, Saibai Island is up there… In Australia’s it’s bit of a novelty to be able to look across the water to another country, but that’s exactly what you can do on Saibai – a low-lying island a few kilometres from the Papua New Guinea mainland. Anyway, it was an adventure getting …
The Kimberley
With those images of majestic boab trees standing sentinel over dramatic landscapes of sandstone escarpments, towering waterfalls and lush gorges, the Kimberley region of Western Australia has always stirred my imagination. In early October I had the chance to visit this ancient region, overland from Darwin to Broome, shooting some travel photography for a tour …

The weather in North Queensland for the …
Hinchinbrook Island
Sitting about 8 kms off the North Queensland coast near Cardwell, Hinchinbrook Island has a diverse range of ecosystems along one of the region’s best walking tracks – the Thorsborne Trail. Four spare days and great weather conspired for me to able to do a solo trek along the 32 km trail. I loaded up …
Western Australia
There’s nothing like a road trip, and a journey up the west coast of Australia is one that I’ve always looked forward to. Swimming with Whale Sharks was the main inspiration for this travel photography trip from Perth to Exmouth, but there’s a load of interesting places in between. With two weeks in hand it …
Ningaloo Marine Park
Swimmming with a Whale Shark is something I’ve always dreamed of doing… just the size, grace and presence of one of these mammoth fish is pretty amazing. Ningaloo Marine Park off Exmouth in Western Australia is probably the best place in Australia to get that opportunity, which I had on a break in early June. …
Fraser Island
Ever since my first to Fraser Island several years ago, I’ve wanted to get back with my own 4WD and explore and photography the island at my own pace. Just before Easter I was able to make it down south to spend almost a week creating some landscape images of one of Queensland’s greatest National …
