How to judge & how to enter rural photography awards & competitions

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.

When is the best time to travel?
February 22nd, 2019Now. Why? Because none of us know what tomorrow will bring. We all have to keep a bit aside in case we reach 95. And nobody wants to reach 80 & be scratching for cash. But on the other hand, most 95 year olds need very little spending money; they’re not going out on the […]
Townsville Floods
February 7th, 2019I’ve received many queries about the floods in Townsville and frustratingly, there has been a lot of typically inaccurate media reporting by blow-in journalists unfamiliar with geography, what’s typical here and Townsville’s history. Mainly because the genuine care factor – for accuracy regarding northern Australia – is lacking. Townsville is in the dry tropics – […]
