Karnivool guitarist, Drew Goddard kept finding himself drawn back to Coolgardie in the WA Goldfields. When he ran out of reasons to visit, he moved there…

Terry & Dianne - Leonora
Before marrying Dianne, Terry was living at the northern end of Leonora’s main street, in the house he’d grown up in. An avid collector, Terry has spent many, many hours treasure-hunting at the Leonora tip…
Vaso - Boulder WA
I spotted this snappy-dressed gent, tapping away on his iPhone, as I drove down the main street of Boulder in the Goldfields recently…
Jamie - Kalgoorlie gold buyer
…I supposed he’d meet some interesting characters in his line of work. He agreed, “I’ve had a gun pointed at me a few times! One time I even came away three grand better off”…
Sunset tour - Wooleen Station
If you’re heading to Wooleen Station, the sunset tour running several days a week is a must-do. Informative, educational and fun with a cheeky wine as you watch the sun going down.
Abrolhos Islands Pearl Farm
Hugging the horizon, 60 kilometres off the Western Australian coast, the low-lying Abrolhos Islands are home to cray-fishing and, more recently pearl-farming families. With only minimal, low-vegetation, these islands are windswept, and tough underfoot with feet-cutting coral. Without access to mains supplies, the island dwellers use rainwater collected from their shack roofs, and power generated from solar and wind. These islands are not for the faint hearted.
On the road again - the Wheatbelt Way
I always try to take the road less travelled, and preferably one that I’ve not driven before. I was recently driving north to Wooleen Station and chose to take the route via Dalwallinu through to Mullewa…
Beyond the Traffic Lights exhibition
Beyond the Traffic Lights - I’ve finally shared some photos and words about my recent exhibition on Yagan Tower, featuring 100-plus portraits taken on our 6-month meander around Western Australia last year.
Boyup Brook Rodeo
It’s promoted as a rodeo, music and camping festival and it more than lived up to its name, and its reputation for being a great weekend!
Nallan Station Stay
Nallan Station was the perfect base when we explored Cue and the surrounding district in early September. While we were there we took photographs for Cath and Dave for their website, social media and printed material, creating their very own unique stock library of images…
Grocery Shopping in Cue
Grocery shopping in Cue is an altogether different experience. Bell’s Emporium opened in 1904 and is still operating from the same premises all these decades later…
The Iron Clad Hotel in Marble Bar
…While Steve was having a rest one day, I took myself and my camera down to the lunchtime session Marble Bar’s iconic Iron Clad Hotel. I found a few locals getting in a bit of practice before the Friday night pool competition.
Beagle Bay
Finding a gleaming white Bavarian-style church in a remote Aboriginal community north of Broome is unexpected…but not as unexpected as the mother-of-pearl altar inside.
Broome Rodeo
…As a portrait photographer it was always going to be about the people. What the rodeo was also about was vibrant shirts and fancy belt buckles and, more importantly, family and community. Families had travelled into Broome especially from remote stations and communities for miles around - they set up their chairs and rugs, and settled in for the evening…
East Kimberley
Exploring the far north-east of Western Australia was always in our minds when we left our home in Denmark on the south coast of WA back in March…
Out and about around Wyndham
…Parts of the Kimberley may have their resorts and wealth, diamonds and pearls, but Wyndham is the hidden gem.
Home schooling with Kamali
I’ve been enjoying catching up with my old friend Kamali while we’ve been in Broome, and so have the children from the #thenomadicsmob - the offspring of musicians Dave Mann and Bec Schofield who are currently up at Kooljaman Resort at Cape Leveque playing beautiful music to holiday makers each night. Here they are on the back of Kamali’s house truck creating with clay - a pretty special art class for these home-schooled kids.
Derby Bush Poets Breakfast
On the last Sunday of June each year, Derby hosts the annual Bush Poets Breakfast.
