April Muster Mudgeacca
When we, #GoodwoodCrew and chopper pilots, were able to witness a sunrise like this, on April Fools day and our country and the world, are in the grip of Coronavirus #covid_19…I felt overwhelmed with being completely blessed in the moment. My YouTube video of this muster shows-off the skills of my iPhone and #DameDrone so […]
Cockatiels visiting our Lagoon
These lovely small swift birds have alluded my camera for 35 years. Considering they are plentiful in my area, it is hard to believe.

Sunrise from the Cazna turnoff
You know the saying, the story behind the photo or a picture paints a thousand words?

Marginal Channel Country

I hope you enjoy the results.
