Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
This is just one part of a vlog I have had in creation for a few months now. It's at least a month from completion. What are the Benefits of Living on Kangaroo Island? At the beginning of my December 17th 2017 radio show on 5KIxFM9.07 in Kingscote, Kangaroo Island I asked on our Facebook... Continue Reading →
The SAAS MedSTAR helicopter flew to Kangaroo Island on Saturday 19th August 2017 for a pickup. As my son and I stood at the Kingscote memorial at the top of Reeves Point,we heard it before we could see it traveling across the ocean. It flew overhead, slightly scaring my son but he soon realised how... Continue Reading →
Ok, it is not a pond: It is a tidal pool. If you have never seen the tidal pool, ask any of the locals in Kingscote to point you in the right direction. They are nice people, they will. These five photographs were shot about 3 pm, the perfect time of the day to capture... Continue Reading →
There's a valid and great reason why I don't blog as often: I am vlogging again. Living on Kangaroo Island has given me new inspiration, subjects and time. Admittedly, some of my attempts are not so perfect, yet I am having so much fun learning new facets of the software I use, plus the limitations... Continue Reading →

Dear Sun, I watched you raise your weary headFrom the hills of Adelaide that were last night's bed. You rose up quickly, faster than expected,Before 6.30am it was like you'd not even rested. My camera caught your beauty, your radiant explosion of orange,You drew breath as you appeared as if a bride arriving for her... Continue Reading →
I never expected standing in the middle of the road to shoot a video would make it so popular. Yet I am glad that I can, and that you like that I can! Not making sense? Here is the my early morning 360° video of the thriving metropolis of Kingscote on Kangaroo Island! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=armS1JDr5D0 Because... Continue Reading →
You've read my last article and seen ny photos at the 'Cottage? Cool! Now you can watch my video. https://youtu.be/hdnwi-mmK7U Can't lie: My video skills need upgrading - I seriously need to use my tripod more often, and I need an external micro-microphone!
On Monday afternoon (30.Jan.2017) I decided to take my Canon EOSM with 22mm Lens with me on one of my daily exercise walks. Originally I had intended to walk into Kingscote to get a coffee at Chocol'Art, but somehow I chose to go in the opposite direction: I went up the hill - and discovered... Continue Reading →
This time last year we made a BIG decision: To move our family to Kangaroo Island. Explaining the benefits to each of our families actually didn't take a lot, but there are a few who have not yet been there. Yesterday morning I videoed some of my morning walk. Because of the tranquillity of Kingscote,... Continue Reading →
Somehow I stumbled upon Penelope Trunk's website this morning. Very quickly I read this quote below - which reminded of conversations I have had recently - so I had to share it! Farming is changing a lot. It’s a lot like what you say about how corporations won’t take care of you and you have... Continue Reading →
