Originally only my wife, kids and older son's best friend and his mum were going to visit Cape Borda lighthouse without me. But at the last moment my work agreed they didn't need me today. So I grabbed my Canon 70D and Tamron 18-400mm, a loose shirt and wide brimmed hat to join them. Cape... Continue Reading →
Testing the Tamron 18-400mm
Watch to the end to see the difference between 18mm and 400mm when I photograph the yellow sign stuck on the rocks through to the next beach! https://youtu.be/57r3RX_aJeg
What are the Benefits of Living on Kangaroo Island?

Shoot Buoys in a Pond
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 →

I researched this information after our rental-home smoke-detector beeping beeped at 2.30am yesterday morning. At the time I also asked on Facebook (in a KI Q&A group) what should be done in the short term: All my good friends on Kangaroo Island suggested the 9Volt battery needed replacing.
