Narooma, NSW South Coast

Narooma is a quiet fishing port on the South Coast. I headed there after seeing an image of Glasshouse Rock in a gallery. Knowing where Glasshouse Rock is and getting there are two different matters. I could get to the next beach up the coast but there was a headland blocking access to the beach and I couldn't find a path. There is a path to the beach behind the cemetery but I only found it by walking the long way around. This is one place that seems to be kept quiet by the locals.

The rocks around Glasshouse Rock have plenty of shape and colour to interest a landscape photographer. I am going down the South Coast in September and will definitely visit Glasshouse Rock again.





The Drip

The Drip Gorge is on the Goulburn River approximately 50 kilometres from Mudgee in NSW. It is known for its moss covered sandstone cliffs which drip water into the river. The area is also being mined for coal and The Drip under pressure from mining development.

I've photographed there several times and two of my virtual galleries are on my web site here:

This series of shots were influenced by a photography exhibition I saw which featured large B&W prints of similar imagery.
