Cape Otway Lighthouse

Anyone who knows me well enough, will know that I am a little bit of  petrolhead, hence I love going on long drives. And one of my favourite drives is along the Great Ocean Road, it so happens that one of my favourite places to take photographs is the Cape Otway Lighthouse. On the way to the lighthouse, I can always spot bouncing Kangaroos and Koalas on the way to the lighthouse amongst other fabulous native wildlife.

There is much historical significance surrounding the lighthouse and the buildings (hint: you can actually stay at the accommodation on the grounds and go on ghost tours!) - but I'll leave that to you to head down there and discover it for yourself. For now.... here is a glimpse of what to expect.

Docklands Winter Fireworks

Thought I'd share some pyrotechnic eye candy from the Docklands Winter Fireworks which I took last year - which I finally got around to processing. I highly recommend you to head out to the Docklands between Jul-Aug this winter to check them out every Friday at 7.30pm.

In my personal opinion, Docklands has earned itself a pretty bad rep for being a deserted part of the city, however, I reckon from sunset through to nightfall, it is one of the prettiest places to visit (with camera in tow of course!) and soak in all the colours, lights and glistening waters. And even during the day, I have seen some pretty awesome things like jellyfish floating by in the water by the swarms and if you want to find a place to relax in the city without the hustle and bustle, Docklands is actually the perfect spot. So go on, head down this winter and check out the pretty fireworks because really.... who doesn't like fireworks?

Bikes, Buller & Bromance

My good friends Zane and Calvin (whose lovely faces you would have seen previously in my galleries) invited me to their family flat tucked away on the picturesque Mt. Buller over the weekend as the boys (or as they would exclaim, "excuse me, but we are men!") wanted to 'bromance' over some international mountain bike race. Having only seen Buller during the snow season I was super keen for a summer visit to enjoy some bush walking and explore the amazing landscape and nature.

Our archery friends Carmen and Ricky joined us too on the second day to cheer on the cyclists as they raced round the mountain - the Mexican wave, whistles and even a cowbell all made respective appearances!
