Australia’s Blue Mountains, with its famous landmark the Three Sisters, have long been a favoriate tourist destination and weekend getaway for Sydneysiders.

Town of 1770
January 16, 2012 by
It’s an odd name for a town, but then Australia has a lot of unusual-sounding place names (see: Wagga Wagga, Bong Bong, or Humpybong). It’s sometimes listed officially as “Seventeen Seventy.” Locals often write it as “1770″, which gives a better hint as to the history behind the strange name.
Australia’s Picture Postcard Beach

Timelapse Snippet of Lake George, Canberra
August 10, 2010 by
Lake George, just northeast of the Australian capital city of Canberra, is normally a major freshwater lake. But right now it’s completely dry, a good indication of the kind of drought pretty much the entire continent is suffering.
Australian Outback Timelapse
July 30, 2010 by
I took this timelapse earlier in the year while visiting friends in the Towamba River Valley. You wouldn’t know it from the video, but it was stifling hot that day–really hot–and the clouds look dramatic but led to no rain, a problem for the region that was afflicted with drought.
Australia’s Rugged Coastline
June 26, 2010 by
The southern New South Wales coast includes some real gems. Driving along the coast up to Sydney early one morning, I was particularly struck by this rugged headland at Tathra.
My Favorite Australian City

Australian Parliament House, Canberra

Australia’s new Parliament House in Canberra is a striking piece of architecture, built into a hill and utilizing natural Australian materials.
Towamba
February 27, 2010 by
The Towamba Valley is nestled between state forests and national parks and yet still only half an hour to the stunning Sapphire Coast, at that. Adding to the charm is that it’s just not that easy to get to. And that’s just the way the locals like it.

Blue Moon Timelapse Video
February 7, 2010 by
A Blue Moon comes around once every few years, but it falls on New Years Eve only every quarter century or so. New Years Eve 2009 was one of those rare occurrences. Since I knew I would have a great view of the moon over the water all evening while celebrating, I figured it would be a good chance to try my first real experiment with night-time timelapse photos.
