This series of images were captured over a number of dedicated landscape photography trips during the autumn of 2024. Probably the most adventurous of which involved hiking The Castle, which is a rocky mountain that rises out of the Budawang Range in Morton National Park and offers amazing views if you can manage the gruelling trek. I spent a freezing night out on the top, sleeping rough on some rocks (sans tent or sleeping bag to save weight) so I could shoot both sunset and sunrise.
The route begins with a river crossing. Shoes and pants off, I waded over, making a heroic recovery after a wayward boot floated downstream during my hurried preparations. That dealt with, I headed up, and up. It is seriously steep, with many sections requiring clambering over obstacles, hauling on tree roots, crawling over and under boulders, and slushing through mud or undergrowth.
I avoided the popular tunnel path, opting instead to ascend to the ridge crest and follow the summit track from there. A wise choice I believe, given I was carrying a large pack with heavy camera gear. The technical scrambling to the top then involves solo climbing some exposed boulders using old fixed ropes which proved challenging. Eventually, quite late in the day I managed to top out, and was rewarded with amazing views over a spectacularly mountainous landscape. Exhausted, I set up for a sunset shoot, and was treated to a grand display of light and colour.
I had dragged six litres of water up the mountain, and was grateful for that now. I ate some tea, and just relaxed. Sitting on the top of the world, all alone in the wilderness, it felt truly magical. Before long the temperature dropped, so I layered up, putting on all my spare clothes and cast about for a flat bit of rock on which to sleep. My pack, with its foam backing, made the ground more comfortable, but I did get up in the night to warm up from time to time.
When the sun rose I was in position at my chosen dawn composition, and managed to capture an image looking east towards the flat topped Byangee Mountain and distant Pigeon House Mountain. The clouds had departed, but a little fog in the valley below added some atmosphere to the morning glow. Feeling renewed and happy, I headed back down the mountain that day, getting to my car in good time. What an amazing experience. One I will not forget.
Another trip during this period saw me tracking down more huts in Kosciuszko for my High Country Huts project. The result was being able to add Daveys Hut, Whites River Hut, Horse Camp Hut and Cascade Hut to the collection. For Cascade I chose cycling in using my old push-bike instead of hiking, though in hindsight, there was little advantage given I ended up walking the uphills anyway.
For Whites River I actually spent some coin and rented an electric mountain bike. Being my first time using one it was not a spectacular success. My backside became very sore, even after I secured my camp pillow to the seat. However, I did manage to cover the distance in good time, and even got some amazing fiery orange sunset light.
Other images in this series came from the Blue Mountains, such as the one of Lincolns Rock Cave. Having scouted this location, and visited a few times I was well aware of the challenge faced by a landscape photographer hoping for a people free image. As such, I decided to scramble up into the cave in search of an image. From the perspective of someone with a few decades of rock climbing experience, I would say the handful of moves needed to gain the little extra height are not difficult, but are quite exposed and dangerous.
Working my way into this little cave I found a pleasing composition and settled in to wait for twilight. Numerous parties (of a younger generation) ascended onto the ledge, snapped a selfie, and descended again. Fortunately I had the outcrop to myself when the light finally decided to paint colour across the sky. I was able to work unhindered and enjoy this moment of solitude in an otherwise very busy location.
My favourite image of this series, however, would that of Sea Cliff Bridge with the strong leading line of Grand Pacific Drive taking the viewer on a coastal journey. Being a bit too old-school for Instagram I was not aware of the popularity of this viewpoint. I found myself sharing the trail with dozens of sightseers, all snapping away on cameras and phones. Realising I would have no chance of creating something unique without some effort, I used a long exposure to allow car headlights to illuminate the bridge, whilst using a shorter exposure to capture the blazing light of dawn over the ocean. I then focus stacked the foreground to ensure front to back sharpness. Hopefully you enjoy the resulting photograph.
Right, that is it for this blog. There will probably be more work from Kosciuszko in my next entry. Until then, I wish you all the best and thanks for reading. May you also find some peace and replenishment in our beautiful natural world.
