Tips for Australians travelling by air during Covid19
February 25th, 2021Between late October-mid January I squeezed in 15 flights across 3 Australian states – mostly to run drone workshops.

Rural photography competitions can help foster a thriving rural photography scene – but most don’t
September 7th, 2020After running rural drone or photography workshops I’m usually approached by at least one parent asking whether their daughter, who is really keen on photography, should pursue a career as a photographer. (And yes, virtually every time it has been daughter, not son.) If I say ‘yes go for it’ (as many other photographers do) […]
Looking for information on drones on farms or cattle stations?
July 7th, 2020I’m receiving increasing enquiries from regional Australians seeking information on drones, particularly for use on farms or cattle stations.

Storing luggage when visiting cities (regional & rural visitors)
May 20th, 2019As a rural and now regional resident who has visited cities since old enough to carry a bag, I’ve walked many, many kilometres around cities dragging a heavy suitcase. Or sometimes just bags of shopping that I’m taking back to a remote area. These days I’m always travelling for work reasons so often have photography […]
