VALE OF BELVOIR/AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC








Two weeks ago 12 hardy photographers joined up from all over the state to photograph the beautiful Vale of Belvoir in the states North West, near Cradle Mountain. All members of the NPT (Nature Photographers of Tasmania) our mission was to capture as many and varied images as possible to highlight the conservational significance of this land newly purchased by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy. As an unexpected bonus the photo editor of Australian Geographic Chrissie Goldrick flew down to join us and do a story on the project. Check out the April edition next year...

5 days of on and off rain and drizzle didn't deter us hardy folks from the daily dawn risings, though it did take it's toll on the evening socialising by the end...! I stayed an extra few days in an old cattle drovers hut on the land and managed to get a couple of beautiful clear dawns.

Just last night we all came together for a slideshow of the collected works of the project so far - talk about a fabulous body of work!

Here's a few of my contributions...
