The southern-most point in Australia that is readily accessible with views of the southern horizon would have to be Cape Bruny Lighthouse. This makes it an amazing spot to see aurora australis as well as the stars. Here I lined up the lighthouse with the… https://t.co/1wLlIVqLKy

Spectacular mudstone cliffs line sections of the Derwent estuary south of Hobart, leaving rise to some unusual sea stacks and hidden coves. Always great to explore close to home and not have to go too far to shoot some astro! https://t.co/d1R0qMbe21

Arcadia Aura [2019]⁠
⁠
On this still and calm evening on the Pieman River at Corinna in western Tasmania, I was hoping to photograph the stars. Unfortunately, the mist descended and foiled those plans so improvisation was required. Luckily I was trav… https://t.co/7fT6Et4gh4

Margate Magic [2019]⁠
⁠
For most of us COVID has meant that we have to stay much more local to our homes than we are used to. It's a great opportunity to discover and rediscover local places that are sometimes overlooked. I feel quite grateful that I… https://t.co/GY1YK7geOW

Reach for the Stars [2020]⁠
⁠
A lone gum reaches out over the beach as the galactic core of the milky way rises in the distance. I'm really excited to be sharing a week of never before seen work every day for the next week here on Instagram. https://t.co/vRtlJ8Nk9K

Early morning at Tesselated Pavement as the galactic core of the milky way slowly rises into the sky. Green and red airglow produce a radial pattern from the east and the first glimpse of nautical twilight can be seen as the orange glow on the horizon. T… https://t.co/GVWSmWZUdS

Looking up at the stars next to the magnificent Cape Bruny Lighthouse. It was built way back in 1836, goodness knows what hellish weather it has been exposed to during that time. A thought that's far from the mind on calm evenings like this one. https://t.co/teR6Lm1FEm

When you decide to climb a mountain and stay up there the night, only to be greeted by this scene in the morning. Its a pretty decent feeling one could say 👍 @beautyoftasmania https://t.co/5C7GGHDmxv

Back a few posts ago I told a story about a possum climbing my tripod during a shoot. Well this was another night with a possum encounter. I was shooting here with @benjaminalldridge and as we were composing our shots a possum decided to start walking do… https://t.co/0dCvoubY17

Granite meeting the ocean has to be one of the most photogenic things. Flinders Island is a good example of that! It's not long after I return home from a visit that I wish I was back there. https://t.co/cWpCYMPSbT

A spectacular sunset over a boat ramp south of Hobart. One thing I love about living in Hobart is that there's options for compositions in whatever direction you need. This is definitely a favourite spot of mine for anything west facing. https://t.co/Rp230jdBkg

The dramatic combination of the galactic core of the milky way and aurora australis is split by a gnarled gum tree. Northern Midlands, Tasmania https://t.co/4sp1O4AlVr

Every October the fields around Table Cape in the northwest of Tasmania come alive with masses of tulips, in fact, it is the largest planting of tulips in the Southern Hemisphere. #beautyoftasmania https://t.co/we5mCB1xgW

Stillness under the full moon at Dove Lake, with the earth's rotation evident in the trails of stars. What isn't captured in this image is the numb hands and frozen feet from staying out in the elements on this evening. Whilst clear skies filled with sta… https://t.co/l0d9Msz00y

The galactic core of the milky way meets some green airglow and an old boat shed on the east coast of Tasmania. Gotta love the dark skies in Tassie! #beautyoftasmania https://t.co/OInNHzvARX

kunanyi Magic [2018]⁠

A thin layer of mist flows down the flanks of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, with the iconic dolerite tors in the foreground and the lights of Hobart in the background. I'd love to have more evenings like this in 2021 although I co… https://t.co/OJ3ub6hbMO
