Australia

Gallery Info

Australia is one of my favorite travel destinations. The vastness of the country, the wide beaches, the green mountains, and of course the unique wildlife all make it a very special place to visit. In 2016, I had the opportunity to explore Australia for six weeks, driving along the east coast from Cape Tribulation in the north to Wilsons Promontory Park near Melbourne in the south. During this time, I captured stunning landscapes and seascapes with plenty of beautiful light conditions that made for perfect photography opportunities.

I also enjoyed camping in Australia a lot. You find a barbecue and picnic area almost everywhere, and the national parks are well maintained and offer great facilities. The people in Australia are friendly and welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, Australia is a fantastic destination for nature lovers and photographers alike, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience.
