Northern Adventures

In July and August 2020 I embarked on a northern Western Australian road trip with my two daughters Amy and Holly. Over the course of 6 weeks, (5 weeks with them), we travelled “a-lot” and I photographed a new series of works from Karijini, Broome, broader Kimberley and also a stint on the Ningaloo Coast on the way back down where I also met up with my son Jordan and his mates as they camped out at Lefroy Bay.

It was a truly tremendous trip, fortuitous in its timing as we could all head off with minimal lead time and share in what was some pretty magical experiences.

Western Australia at the time had a closed border with the rest of the Australian states and internationally due to COVID 19. By shutting down our borders early, local Western Australians have been able to go about there “local” lives pretty freely while other places both in Australia and particularly internationally haven’t been so fortunate.

What this did mean however was that this was a unique opportunity to explore our state with predominantly only Western Australians out and about. Overall traveller numbers were well down apart from popular tourist towns, the wet season had been pretty wet and late which provided beautiful environmental conditions and I met up with many an old friend as it had been a few years since I had been up this far in the north.

Overall we had a very memorable experience and one I’m sure we will look back on with great fondness in future years.

I look forward to sharing some more experiences from this trip with you soon…
