central highlands.

THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS SIT BETWEEN WIND-POLISHED PLAINS AND THE RUSTLE OF ALPINE SHRUBS, HOLDING STORIES IN THE QUIET OF OPEN SKY AND WATER.

one late summer, i drove to lake augusta and lake ada with my father and my children. three generations in one car, winding up through tasmania’s western tiers.

my father once hiked this region decades ago. these days, our adventures are quieter, with shorter walks, slower mornings and a deeper appreciation for being able to return. with camera in hand, i stepped lightly across the ground, drawn to the colour bloom of tasmania’s endemic shrub, scoparia in flower. the low sun caught on their waxy leaves and the hush of the highlands was broken only by the calls of the currawong and the quiet joy of being there together.

from the roadside, i photographed the exterior of thousand lakes lodge and the surrounding wilderness, creating still imagery that evokes place without intruding on it. the wide skies, weathered rock and sparse vegetation all held the same story of exposure, care and endurance.

if you are a regional accommodation provider in tasmania’s central highlands or other remote parts of the state, i’d love to help create images like these for your lodge, cabins or on-farm stay. an overnight stay often allows the best light and the broadest story, with evening and morning sessions that can serve editorial features, digital content and print materials. for full day sessions, i am happy to stay on-site or close by to work with both dusk and dawn, with accommodation covered by the client.

with travel available across tasmania, these more remote stories are well within reach.

if this sounds like the kind of story you’d like told for your own place, let’s organise a complimentary in-person visit.
