Over the Christmas / New Year period 2012 / 2013 I ventured to my home state of WA where I was fortunate enough to do a trip around most of Rottnest Island which is a photographers paradise.
I remember coming here as a kid and I must say after returning some 15 years later is was great to see that the modernisation of the island has been done in good taste. Apart of the swarm of flies the light was exceptional as you can see from the range of shots I have added to my online gallery.
I wasn’t able to get the south side of the island as I had mistakenly taken a wrong turn and went through the middle and that ate up a good chunk of my time and also energy, the seat on my bike was brutal.
The Basin was the pick of the beaches that I shot, this image here being my favorite.
After riding around for 6 hours the ferry ride home was a god send and by pure luck I got to sit right next to the boats air conditioner, was absolute bliss.
