Day 3 – Thursday Another long day and an even bigger adventure, by waking up at beginning our journey by 8am we set off heading for Margaret River. On our way down we stopped at a chocolate factory, this was a great idea until there was free samples, filling our pockets and carrying on the journey to Candy Cow, well known for its sweets and fudge! Despite feeling like I was back in England by having several cow statues surrounding me. Next we began our wine tour, we started by going to a Duckstein Brewery, a very beautiful place with a lake and a very welcoming place, where we received free samples of different ciders and beer. Nothing to complain about! We also went to Driftwood Winery where we got to experience wine tasting, which I ... read more

This was my first week that felt like I was in Australia, driving out on the country roads and not being in the city! It was indeed an adventure. Our first stop was in Bunbury, where I stayed with my flat mate and her family. Absolutely gorgeous house by the beach, waking up to an ocean view was incredible. Day 1 - Tuesday For our first day we went around Bunbury and met a few off Carla’s (My flat mate) Friends, where we went to see their horse and spend some time on the paddocks. On the way we got to see the first lot of my wild kangaroo’s which I found really exciting, as I still hadn’t seen any considering I have been In Australia for nearly 7 weeks! That night we explored Bunbury some ... read more

So my life in Australia isn't all fun and games. The past week I have been using my time to catch up on my studies ready for all my deadlines this week. Tomorrow is my first deadline for my photography project, where we had to take four photos all with manual settings to create a narrative. The four photos needed to consist of Great depth of field, shallow depth of field, Freeze movement and movement blur. After trying out a lot of experimentation with different narratives and trying to think of something I could tell a story in such few photos. Some involved turning our shower into a glowing room, to get some fun colours for the movement shot. I decided on this idea: By using my good friend Lindsay as my model we went down ... read more

Plenty of photos to edit from today and I have an interesting post coming your Way soon! Stay tuned :)... read more

Finally for the first time in my life I got to see what a proper beach should look like! Perfect sand no Pebbles or anything to stab in your feet! The water was actually blue and it wasn't overly cold, considering it is winter! A huge group of us we went with a couple of surfers, boards on the roof, pure Aussie! Teaching a few of them to surf, I decided to stay dry and just take the photos, whilst just enjoying the amazing views. This gave me a little taster of what to look forward to in the summer... Considering giving surfing a go!... read more
