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!

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!

Subtle Beauty

3 OCT 2013: Sheer beauty and elegance would be the best way to describe this morning’s sunrise. It was such a subtle transformation with the predawn orange tones changing to pastel pinks, then finishing off with a striking sun burning in the horizons haze. I hope you enjoy the shots from Bonville creek, Sawtell.

4.48am and I'm greeted with orange tones to the east as I round the corner.

Sublime Sunrise

1 Oct 2013: Unbelievably beautiful, stunning, magical, brilliant, perfect, magnificent and as many other describing words that I could use to caption this mornings sunrise here at Coffs Harbour. We are up here for the week to watch my middle boy Finn play in the National soccer tournament (he is a goal keeper) and thanks to him I have been able to witness this a truly spectacular sunrise. I was absolutely gob smacked; I hope you like the shots as much as I enjoyed capturing / experiencing them.

I was on the water for 4.45am and I was being treated to a magnificent sunrise already.

Very cruisy start.

Super calm conditions made for a very cruisy start.

True Magic

26 Sept 2013: True magic is the only way to describe my paddle on LBG this morning. I can rant and rave about how beautiful it was or how I drifted on a massive sheet of glass that was the entire main basin and experienced a truly stunning sunrise. I had the water to myself for ages and the mirror reflections were glorious and many times throughout my two hour paddle it felt like I was floating on the clouds.  Anyway enough of the chatter, I’ll let the photos tell the story. I hope that you enjoy the shots.

Wow is the word of the morning
