Many people over the years have asked if I produce Australian outback calendars. I haven’t – until this year. The books ‘A Million Acre Masterpiece’ and ‘Life as an Australian Horseman’ contain nearly 500 photos dating back to 1984, taken on Australia’s largest cattle stations. However there are still thousands of outback photos in my archives that no-one […]

Unique books featuring Australia's largest & most famous outback cattle stations.
These coffee-table style books contain more than 800 photographs taken on almost 60 cattle stations across the top of Australia. The photos show true-to-life colours and genuine people in authentic, everyday situations. Looking through these books will make you feel like you are there amongst the dust & action, solitude & silence. These books are enjoyed by every age and people from all walks of life, all over the world. And they're especially appreciated by people who are hard to buy gifts for. But there's no need to take my word for it - read what other people have said about the books in testimonials. Or find out more about the book contents.

Australian Outback Calendars
May 29th, 2011Australian outback books heading overseas
March 1st, 2011Just been running through the December 2010 quarter figures (BAS time) and discovered almost 25% of book sales at this time were mailed to overseas addresses. Primarily America and New Zealand, but also Canada, Europe and England. Given that many countries overseas are having a tougher time economically and that the Australian dollar is stronger […]
Cyclone Yasi
February 7th, 2011The power came back on around midday today (Monday), after being off since 8.30pm on Wednesday night – but many other people are still waiting. Electricity crews have a massive job, with so many trees down over lines and power poles snapped off. At the end of our street the top half of a power […]
Message regarding cyclone Yasi – business interruption
February 1st, 2011A message re delivery times, contact details & business hours – business has been interrupted due to flooding in various parts of Queensland since before Christmas (and preparations for cyclones, eg cyclone Anthony). Now another cyclone – Yasi – is approaching the Qld coast and it is anticipated that parts of north Qld will be […]
Christmas order delivery times
December 12th, 2010I’ve had a few queries lately regarding Christmas delivery times. To ensure pre-Christmas delivery all December orders for books and cards are sent out within 1-2 days of receipt (often on the same day). All Australian orders for 4 books or less are sent by Express Post so they only take a few days to reach most parts […]
Equitana Melbourne 2010
November 28th, 2010Equitana was an amazing experience – meeting people during the day, and attending events at night. A highlight for me was seeing the ‘All Star Showcase’ on Thursday night, the Grand Prix Dressage on Saturday night and the show jumping final on the last day. Which a Queenslander won. One of the commentators remarked early on […]
Equitana Melbourne 2010
November 21st, 2010Currently at Equitana, and what a fabulous surprise. I thought the figures given on interstate visitation were probably overstated (45% from outside Victoria) but in actual fact I think they are understated, at least for Equitana 2010. I have met truckloads of visitors from Western Australia (including the Kimberleys), the Northern Territory, South Australia, […]
Equitana 2010 – short office closure
November 12th, 2010Please note: the office is closed at present while I travel to and from Equitana in Melbourne. It will re-open as soon as I return, on approximately 28th November. All orders received will be sent out as soon as I return, in the order they were received. Most Australian orders are delivered within a few […]
Australian Corporate Gifts and Mailing Gifts Overseas
October 27th, 2010‘Life as an Australian Horseman’ and ‘A Million Acre Masterpiece’ are very popular as unique Australian gifts. The number of orders received this week from businesses mailing corporate gifts overseas has prompted me to post a reminder – if you are mailing gifts overseas, either corporate or personal, then keep an eye on the calendar. (Also […]
Online art gallery
October 6th, 2010After an absence of a couple of weeks, the website art gallery is now back online. I still have a couple of images to add, but otherwise all the work has been completed (as have most of the other website renovations).
