Brigalow trip January 2024.

The southern brigalow belt west of Brisbane is home to quite a few reptiles and one frog species that I would love the chance to photograph for my next book. Having a few weeks off over the break I decided on the spur of the moment to take the long drive from the Sunshine Coast […]

Boxing day treats

The weather has been so hot and sticky lately and todays no exception, but I was keen to try and find and photograph another Sunshine Coast Frill necked lizard. With all of the storms that have been passing through recently it seemed like the logical time to look for them, but it was far from […]

Girraween National Park December 2023

Girraween holds a special place in my heart. It’s one of those areas that feels right, feels like home almost. I visit as often as I can, and I can’t get enough of the spectacular scenery dominated by granite outcrops that are home to some truly amazing creatures’ reptiles and frogs in particular which thrive […]

Spotlighting for reptiles and frogs in the Sunshine Coast hinterland

November has been pretty hot and dry here in the Sunshine Coast Region with one notable exception, that being a short lived but destructive storm which swept through the hinterland around the middle of the month creating the perfect conditions for some of our frogs to make their way from the treetops to the ground […]

Reptiles of Mary Cairncross Reserve, a walk in the rainforest.

The first day of 2019 seemed as good a day as any for a walk in the rainforest at Mary Cairncross Reserve Maleny looking for and photographing some of the reptile inhabitants of the park. A reasonably early start gave me the opportunity to walk the trails alone for an hour or so which was […]
