Western Australia is a large and diverse state with hundreds of kilometeres of sandy unspoiled coastline, turquoise water and a mix of sheltered bays and rugged coastline, as well as the inland pastoral beauty of the Wheatbelt with it’s yearly carpet of wildflowers. The state boasts several natural wonders which can only be found in a few places on earth.

The coastline makes it a mecca for surfers, it also has an abundance of native wildlife, birds and fauna making it an ideal spot for photographers. Added to this it’s Mediterranean climate, myriad of wineries, local craft breweries and world class eateries means it is an all year destination for those wishing to have a break from the relative hustle and bustle of the state capital, Perth

I was lucky enough to make my home in the South West of the state for 18 years. A leisurely 2.5 hour drive south of the state capital it offered great photogenic locations right on my doorstep.
