3 Nov 2013: It was the beginning of brilliance. Wild skies were swirling, the colour spectrum was going into overload. What a sunrise, what an experience.

Magnificent Morning
2 Nov 2013: It was as if I was paddling into a tangerine sunrise this morning. The waters were glassy, the winds were light and the colours were magnificent. It made for a perfect start to Saturday.
Paddlers in the Mist
31 OCT 2013: It was a beautiful misty start on Lake Burley Griffin this morning. I was enjoying the peace and calm waiting for the sun to rise and out of the rising mist on the Molonglo River shot the Ice Dragon Outrigger Canon Club, they looked fantastic. I drifted my kayak into the East Basin enjoying the sunrise to discover plenty of activity with the outriggers, surf boats, sculls and kayakers all going through their morning paces. All this activity made for an enjoyable Thursday morning float.
5.36am: I looking forward to this morning.

Relaxed Sunday Start
27 OCT 2013: The sunrise changed colour three times this morning as it burnt through the fog. There were beams of light burning through the Mist, pelicans were silhouetted in the fog and the swans drifted elegantly on glassy waters. All of these elements combined to make for a very relaxing start to my Sunday.

Warm Welcome Home
26 Oct 2013: This was my first float back on Lake Burley Griffin after going to China with Tully (eldest boy) to watch Finn (middle boy) play 7 games of football (soccer) in 10 days. The conditions were fresh but I was certainly treated to a stunning warm welcoming home. I know I say it a lot, but I just love starting the day like this!
So Stoked
I’m so stoked, I have just return home from a trip to China discover that I won the ‘People’s Choice Award’ for my book ‘Kayakcameraman’ in the ‘One for the Books’ Amateur category at the 2013 Ballarat International Foto Biennale. http://ballaratfoto.org/one-for-the-books/
Bon voyage
I was farewelled by a gorgeous Canberra sunset tonight (This was snapped from my back deck as I was preparing dinner). I’m off to China tomorrow for 10 days with my middle boy ‘The Flying Finn’ as he is touring with ACTAS (soccer) as their goal keeper. I can’t wait to see what cultural experiences China brings and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you all. Speak to soon….. 🙂
Over the Moon
I am over the moon that I have a two page spread in the Latest Canon Book ‘NO ONE ELSE SEES IT LIKE YOU’ that was published and distributed for the Melbourne Digital Show 2013. Huge thanks to Kai Lebens and Canon Australia.
Maria River Magic
6 OCT 2013: All I could hear was the glug of my paddle slicing through the glass waters and a multitude of birds in full song as I casually meandered my way on the Maria River this morning. I am working my way home ever so slowly and I just wish I had another few days ( more like weeks really!) to reunite myself this this stunning region. This is just a taste, as I will be back up here camping in twelve weeks time for our annual Christmas Holidays. So much see, so much to do!

Fantastic Farewell
5 OCT 2013: We leave Coffs Harbour not crying because its over, but smiling because it happened. This place is pure magic! It was only fitting that I experienced another stunning sunrise to farewell our fantastic week at Coffs Harbour. This week has been a sunrise bonanza, each morning has treated me to something totally different yet mind blowing beautiful. Today we pack up camp and slowly migrate our home over the next few days. Farewell Coffs Harbour, thanks for the great time…see you again for sure!
