22 June 2003 Into New South Wales via Albury, the weather wasn’t the best and the journey away from the border was uneventful. At one point I stopped to photograph some interesting clouds. As I walked back to the car I noticed a small rainbow on the horizon, then saw it belonged to a much larger splash of color. It stretched across the sky in a wide ark. Rainbows don’t last long so I worked quickly taking many shots at many different focal lengths to include the newly ploughed field in the foreground. Only continuing my journey when the last frame was exposed. Arriving in Temora, six hours after leaving Melbourne I booked into the motel and relaxed until it was time to walk across the road to the RSL for a meal. 23 June 2003 ... read more

23 June 2002 It was 9am when I left for my next week's job in Temora, which is a small country town in central New South Wales. Always looking for new roads to travel on, I checked my map which indicated I could head into territory I had not visited before, although it was going to be forty-seven kilometres longer. From Seymour I followed the Goulburn Highway through Shepparton and Numurkah and crossed into New South Wales near Tocumwal. I was now on the Newell Highway; it was only a few weeks ago when I was in this area, working in Griffith. Just north of Jerilderie, the landscape doesn't change much. It's mainly farming country with both grain or sheep in the paddocks. I continued on the Newell Highway through the town of Narrandera where the ... read more

11 June 2002 Today was spent driving to Mt Gambier in South Australia. Driving over familiar territory I went through Geelong onto the Hamilton Highway which eventually arrived at the town by the same name. The weather was typical for this time of the year in Victoria, overcast! I had never been in the area west of Hamilton and thought the journey interesting. Mostly flat farming land broken by hills that looked like extinct volcanos. There were also areas that the road followed between lush green hills and small valleys. My journey terminated around 3.30 pm (SA time Zone) ... read more

28-30 May 2003 Wednesday I was working in Stratford. It only took fifteen minutes to arrive at the outskirts of town and had plenty of time to take a short drive along the River Avon. The mist was rising from the river and I took the last couple of shots left on the roll of film. It was only last year I worked in the Stratford Kindergarten and again it was a good centre to spend time in. For the last two days of this week the Day Care Centre situated in the Sale Airforce Base was the location of my jobs, both days were busy, but still managed to be packed up and gone by mid-day.... read more

3 June 2002 This is the third year I have worked in Griffith and I must say the lady’s who run this Kindergarten are very helpful and easy to get on with. Today I only had nineteen children to photograph and they gave me lots of smiles and were a pleasure to work with. In the afternoon I went to a National Park about twenty klms east of town. The last time I was here I found a walking track that I promised myself, would be explored at a later date. At the end of a fifteen-minute walk I found a rock face that during the winter is the Falcon Falls. Unfortunately, because of the drought there was no water to be seen but I did spend a good hour climbing and exploring the cliff face. ... read more
