There’s far too much to see and do in British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains in Alberta for three weeks to allow for, but we made the most of it.
Read MoreI recently drove down to the New South Wales / Victoria border town of Rutherglen to attend one of my best mate’s weddings, so I thought it would be prudent to see a few sights along the way. I stopped in Girraween National Park first, then a brief overnight stay at Mount York, Blue Mountains before heading into Kosciuszko National Park staying at the Ngarigo Campground. Then I drove west to Rutherglen for the wedding. Here’s some pictures from the travels.

It’s great to be back on the road and to get the campervan project underway as soon as possible. Here’s a handful of rainforest photos from Mount Cordeaux and Mount Mee.
Read MoreIn the second week of November, I went on a little six day road trip down to the Blue Mountains to enjoy some solo camping in the Rav4 and relax with some long service leave. I only took a handful of proper photographs, instead opting to use my iPhone 14 Pro a bunch instead. Here are the photographs I took on the X-Pro3.
Read MoreRecently, I’ve been to Springbrook and Girraween National Park for hiking and camping adventures. Here’s a number of photos I’ve taken from those. Nothing gallery worthy, but just enjoying the practice.
