I’ve wrapped up my stay in Derby, and am now settled back into Melbourne life. The last 7 months have been an absolute blast, a great way to discover the ‘real’ Australia. Unfortunately I didn’t catch any famed Kimberley Barramundi, but sampled plenty whenever we ate out, becoming somewhat of an accidental Barra connoisseur. My pick for best restaurant Barra goes to the Dragonfly Cafe in Broome, delish!

I’ve tweaked the gallery layouts on the website, so the photos are bigger and bolder. After living in the beautiful Kimberley region for a long time, the Australia gallery has expanded significantly, so I’ll release a new design for showing off photography projects soon.

I’ve just returned from a two week trek to Everest Base Camp. We were fortunate to even start the hike, as the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla were grounded due to heavy fog for 6 days.

We managed to scrape through on one of the few helicopters, as they flew lower to the ground where visibility was better.

I have an even larger backlog of RAW files now – look out for a Nepal gallery soon!
