We don’t sell our landscape nearly well enough. There were beautiful places where we lived in North east Victoria in the late sixties, as a young teacher and family. I remember, the school house would be shrouded in fog, yet 100 metres away in the school grounds, one could look at a seas of fog, maybe 15 metres high, with the tops of the trees emerging, and the surrounding hills bright and fresh in the morning light. The kids would arrive at school with shoes on, but they would soon be discarded. Of course, I didn’t tell the parents.

The Mitta Mitta river is always banked by huge box trees, and there were[in those days] beautiful sandy beaches on the river. You could dive from the rock embankment into the water which was about 30 ft deep, yet be totally safe as there were rocky rapids ten feet further downstream. My young family sought cool in the hot summer months in the shallow rapids and the deep pools. The Mitta Valley, the Talangatta valley, the then full Hume weir. Where are the photos in our small state of Victoria? It was heaven on a stick.

Wow that is a massive amount of photos and video – it must have been an epic adventure narrowing them all down to top 10% – good memories though!
There are some spectacular images there too, looks like quite a trip…

I hope mate that you were also able to show the different colors of the Uluru. It is such a wonderful sight. Although I’m not an aborigine, I feel the sacredness of this rock. It is just nature at its absolute best.

These pictures are unique – they seem to really capture the flavour of the place you’re in. That’s not easy to do with travel photography, so good job!
