As an amateur photographer with a passion for the rugged beauty and vivid colour of outback Australia, I have been travelling to the Australian Outback whenever the opportunity presented since 1960.

Being of short stature and of 'Autumn years', a tripod was used when it could be removed from the rear of the Landcruiser and set up in the immediate vicinity. Otherwise clambering over rocks with a camera in a small backpack was my best solution.

I am not a professional photographer, and I would consider my photographs to be more snapshots of beautiful places rather than technically good photographs.

My main purpose in sharing my photos is to create an awareness of the rugged beauty and spirituality of this country which has been honoured by our indigenous communities for thousands of years, and to inspire the desire to preserve it for future generations.

Secondly, it is an opportunity to share these photographs with those who may have an interest and have not had the opportunity to visit outback Australia, for those who have visited but not had the opportunity to capture their memories, and for those who might be inspired to step outside the box and venture into this rugged and spiritual landscape.

Other than outback Australia, included are photos of the Geothermal zones in New Zealand, another favourite destination and favourite photos of The Rockies in Canada.
