Canā€™t say youā€™ve been to Cocos if you donā€™t have a cracker photo of Direction Island! Taken on tour with .au exporting the inner lagoon, swimming with dolphins, not to mention catching a feed!

Something you have to see with your own eyes. I still remember the first time I crossed the lagoon over to Direction Island. Iā€™ve never seen so many different shades of blue in the water
And itā€™s only 4 hours flight away!!

Itā€™s been a while between posts on IG, a busy year with the business and kids, but there is adventure on the horizon!

March we are heading back to the tropical paradise of the Cocos Keeling Islands, to shoot two weddings! One of the best parts of my job is having the opportunity to travel with it. Bring on that epic blue water, amazing beaches and hanging out with mates enjoying the island life!

YEAOWWWWWWW

Found some more breeding pairs! If you are heading to lake gwelup to see the bee eaters watch where you walk, they put their nests in the most open of spacesā€¦careful with your dogs off leash too!

Captured the vibrant beauty of a rainbow bee-eater! These stunning birds are known for their colorful feathers and agile flight. Found throughout Australia and parts of Southeast Asia, they catch insects mid-air, with a special love for bees. Their striking green, blue, and orange plumage makes them one of the most eye-catching birds in the wild.

Iā€™d love to capture them with a dragon fly mid flight, game on!!

Finally got a shot of the migratory Rainbow Bee Eaters, Merops ornatus. These beautiful little birds migrate the length of WA, Iā€™ve seen them in Exmouth and Port Hedland, and now photographed them in Perth as they come south to nest from September-October. They also make it as far north as PNG and eastern Indo. Iā€™d love to see some tagged research on their movements!

More to come!

The Hawkā€™s zipping through the sky this morning.

The R5 autofocus held on to this beauty perfectly as it disappeared behind the trees, such a unique shot Iā€™m stoked with it!

Face to face with this rather large cuttlefish yesterday! Poked my head under a ledge and face planted his tentacles, not sure who got more of a fright! He then came out and swam around showing off his amazing colour changing skin and shape shifting to mimic the background! Amazing creaturesā€¦and also new front signage pinup creature!

Thanks for the dive šŸ¤™

Helicopter rescue at Sorrento beach this morning!

Back when I used to be a "tough" diver and didnt know what youtube was....turn the sound on

I am super excited to announce that I have been working with Kate Flower on her Summer and Festive Entertaining book "A Local Table" for 2021. This year Kate is releasing a limited print run of her recipe book and has just opened pre-sale via her website so you can secure a copy (or many copies) for yourself or to gift a loved one. The publication is 160 pages of recipes and stories showcasing West Australian producers, growers, purveyors and makers and will get your seasonal kitchen ready for celebratory baking, gifting BBQing, grazing, drinking, formal and informal dining. At $30 plus gst this beautiful book would make the perfect Secret Santa gift, Corporate Chrissy thank you, that little something for under the Chrissy tree or even gift yourself so you can share glorious WA driven food with the family through Summer and the Festive Season. Follow this link to the pre-sale page on Kate's website for more details or to order before they run out. It's going to be delicious! https://www.kateflowerfood.com.au/a-local-table-2021 #christmasgifting #alocaltable2021 #festiverecipes #corporategifting #buywesteatbest #westernaustralia #shoplocal #westaustralianfood

I don't think I will stop being impressed by foiling, whether it be kiting, windsurfing or Boothy on his SUP, I absolutely love it. This is a quick cut from Boothy last month on a downwinder near Sorrento (with a buddy). Epic!! #foil #standuppaddlefoil #idontknowhowtohashtagfoiling
