The Meters of Waddamana Power Station

In last week's blog post I gave you a glimpse of the Waddamana Power Station Museum. This week we take a closer look at some of the fabulous meters in their collection.

Waddamana Power Station

In the geographical centre of Tasmania, up in the highlands, there's a turn off from the Highland Lakes Road that takes you 30km down a winding dirt road to an unexpected piece of industrial design history - the Waddamana Hydro-Electric Power Station. Or more precisely these days, the Waddamana Power Station Museum.

Highland Adventures

Today's post features a tiny, tiny glimpse at the central highlands of Tasmania. As always we took the quiet back roads as much as possible and it paid off. It's a beautiful region, and as is so often the case in Tasmania, you almost have the roads and the views all to yourself...

A weekend in Sydney

Recently we made a brief foray to the mainland for the weekend. Each year we try to travel to Sydney see the Archibald Prize exhibition, and this year was no exception. As well as seeing some amazing art, we got the chance to play in a big city again for a few days.

A garden in winter

This is our first "proper" winter in a long time. It's tempting to hide out inside, huddled beside the heater, but we've been brave and dragged ourselves out to explore. Recently we ventured to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, one of my favourite places in Hobart, even during the chill of winter.

Inspired by an old dictionary

In November 2014 my lovely husband gave me an India Paper Edition of Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language published in 1919. It spurned the Dictionary Project, a series of images inspired by the words and definitions contained in the impossibly thin pages of this beautiful old book. The latest entry is inspired…

Dark Times in Hobart

This week I take you to the world of Dark Mofo.

Exploring the far south

This adventure took us to Tasmania's Far South, through the Southern Forests to the D'Entrecasteaux River and Recherche Bay.

A Peninsula Experience

Tasmania has no shortage of amazing places to stay. However, there are are a handful that are truly spectacular. The Peninsula Experience in Dover is one of those.

D’Entrecasteaux Channel Adventures

As I've mentioned before, the D'Entrecasteaux Channel region is one of my favourite parts of Tasmania. Here are a few highlights of a weekend adventure from Hobart down to Conningham.  

Of bicycles and things

It's been far too long since I've been on a bike, but living in Tasmania is the perfect time to get back in the saddle.

Bream Creek Adventures

Last weekend found us at the Bream Creek Show, an iconic event in the Tasmanian calendar.

Exploring Mount Wellington

This weekend's adventure took us up on to my favourite feature of the Hobart skyline, Mount Wellington. The mountain is covered in hiking trails, and we did a loop which included three trails and covered about 8km.

Foodie adventures at the Taste of the Huon

This weekend's adventure took us to the Taste of the Huon festival. The festival is focused on food, wine, entertainment, arts and crafts from the Huon Valley, D’entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island regions of Tasmania (which all lie just south of Hobart).

A weekend at Woolmers

Recently we spent a weekend at the historic Woolmers Estate in Longford, staying in one of the converted workers' cottages.

Adventures with Penny Farthings

This weekend's adventures found us in the beautiful village of Evandale at the National Penny Farthing Championships.

Oatlands adventures

Last weekend started with a lovely, rainy, Tasmanian summer's day - perfect weather for exploring. So we pulled out our map, picked a destination, worked out our route, and set off off adventuring.

Messing about with boats

This weekend was a lovely long weekend with perfect weather, just what you want as a visitor to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival.

Exploring the Waterworks Reserve

This weekend's adventure took us to South Hobart's Waterworks Reserve. The Reserve is at the base of Mount Wellington and features the two main reservoirs of the Hobart Mountain Water Supply System set in beautiful bushland surrounds.

Exploring Cape Raoul

This weekend's adventure took us to Cape Raoul in the Tasman National Park. There we set off on a 14km return hike, which is considered one of the most spectacular clifftop walks in Australia.

Pumphouse Point Adventures No. 2

Luckily the wild weather wasn't constant during our stay at the newly opened Pumphouse Point, and we had the chance to explore a little bit of Lake St Clair.

Pumphouse Point Adventures No. 1

Our resolution to explore continued in style this weekend with a stay at the newly opened Pumphouse Point in Lake St Clair.

Welcome to Tasmania

This is a return to Tasmania for us, so this year will be a year of discovery and rediscovery, which will tie in nicely with my resolutions for 2015 - to create and to explore.

So let's kick the exploration off with a trip to the Pinnacle of Mt Wellington.

Quick Picks – featuring photography of architecture, portraits, wildlife and landscapes

This week I've been drawn to artists in my own field, so this week’s quick pick of internet finds is all about photography. As usual, good things come in threes...

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. ~ Mark Twain

Quick Picks – featuring old dictionaries, lost photographs and images of fireflies

This week's quick pick of internet finds features things that not only drew my attention, but also captured my imagination.

Quick Picks – featuring British accents, long exposures, and voyeuristic portraiture

There's no link between this week’s quick pick of internet finds, other than that they all captured my imagination. As usual,…

City Fragments – Melbourne

A few weeks ago we packed our bags and left sunny Brisbane for a long weekend in Melbourne. The sale airfares we had meant our baggage allowance was limited to hand luggage, which forced us to be selective about the camera kit we took. While I've moved away from the old days of wanting to carry…

Quick Picks – featuring shadow theatre, bodypainting and translation through illustration

This week's quick pick of internet finds are all about transformation. As usual, good things come in threes... ♥ Shadowland, by dance company Pilobolus, is all about transformation.

I've been thinking about travel a bit lately, so this week's quick pick of internet finds highlights just some of the places on my wanderlust wish list. As usual, good things come in threes... ♥ The unkai terrace at the Hoshino Resorts Tomamu has just made my list of places to visit in Japan. It's…

Barek Art Timelapse

One of the really exciting things about the move away from full-time professional photography has been the way it's prompted me to plan and create things without thinking about how I might be able to use them to encourage bookings. Now I'm doing work purely because I want to, which is liberating. It's also encouraging…

Quick Picks – featuring papier mache pandas, drinkable books and dandelion lamps.

Look, Quick Picks is back! It's now shorter, and possibly a little sweeter, but still full of my latest internet finds. And as always, good things come in threes... ♥ A collaboration between French artist, Paulo Grangeon, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the creatives at PMQ and AllRightsReserved saw 1600 papier-mâché panda sculptures travel…

A Lost World

One Sunday morning earlier this year we decided that a road trip was in order. So we pulled out our map and started planning. As soon as I saw the words "Lost World" I knew it was where we would end up. It's a valley situated behind the Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast…

Well, well, what have we here then?

A few months have passed since I posted about our intention to step back from the world of wedding photography, and wind down that side of our business. Those few months have been a time of transition. I've produced and delivered the last of our clients' albums. I've spent time overseas. I've continued to separate out…

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

They say that all good things must come to an end, and so it is with our venture into the wedding photography business. We've had a blast but have decided it's time to move on to other things. If you liked following along on our adventures you might want to check out some of the…

The New Range of High End Compact Cameras

I'm often surprised by how many people I see taking holiday pictures on large, expensive SLRs. When you look at it these cameras are pretty bulky to carry around, and they're not cheap to buy in the first place, so why do so many people choose them over the alternatives? Well I guess there's an…

Tech Hunter – What Ever Happened to the 50mm Camera?

Brisbane’s most stoic residents

Although Brisbane supports many bright, colourful characters, if you look closely there's always room for quiet ones watching the world pass by without drawing attention to themselves. It's easy to miss these two, who live near the Maritime Museum come rain or shine, I like to think that the weather doesn't get them down, despite…

Quick Picks Week 48 2013 – featuring tips for rainy wedding days, photographs of perfect bodies and a film festival.

Quick Picks Week 47, 2013 – featuring links about our wedding, my favourite art galleries, and birthday presents to make me smile.

I'll let you in on a little secret - it's my birthday today!

While Quick Picks always provides insights into my personality and my taste, I…

Go to nature to be soothed and healed

It's easy to get caught up in the rat race. That relentless feeling that we need to do more and achieve more. But sometimes what we really need is to step away from all the technology and remind ourselves of the beauty of the world around us. To stop. To really look. And to breathe.…

Quick Picks Week 44, 2013 – featuring bespoke hand lettering, sculptures made from old skateboards and coffee via Twitter.

The colours of optimism and magic

Colour in art is a fascinating thing, especially when you start to delve into the world of colour psychology and look at the effect that particular colours can have on emotions and behaviour. Yellow is linked to emotion. It's a colour of happiness and optimism, and of emotional strength and self-esteem. It can lift our…

A quiet beach and a little girl, lost.

It's no secret that I love to capture what I think of as stolen moments. Those fleeting seconds when everyone assumes no photos are being taken.

Who to choose now Google Reader is gone?
