It is the season of colour for the Deciduous beech,Nothofagus gunnii colloquially known as Fagus, it's a annual pilgrimage for many Tasmanian photographers, there are some easy to access places and then there is the challenge to go and find the other places.

Finding these falls was harder than expected due to a little confusion about the distance from the main road, but once we found the right parking spot it was a lovely little takayna/Tarkine rainforest walk into McGowan's Falls.

To Celebrate 21 years of marriage my husband and I headed out to Anniversary Point at pinmatik/Rocky Cape.

Images have been edited, thoughts have been dwelled upon and projects have been planned- well loosely planned.

​I have great admiration for the purpose and conviction of the founders and hosts of Tarkine in Motion, I want to continue to support them and the greater goal of permanent protection for takayna/Tarkine.

​My experiences during Tarkine in Motion were different this year to my first, there was a bit less shock and awe and a bit more contemplation. I have work to go on with which will mean a few more visits to the forests and coast, more chances to dwell in and experience this amazing place and to push forward with some different ways to express my sense of the place.

​I also hope to connect with a few more artists based in the North West of Tasmania and encourage them to get involved . 

I got up early to make the most of our last morning on the stunning coastline of takayna. I visited Sarah Ann Rocks, the “Edge of the world” at the mouth of Arthur River, Marrawah and eventually arrived at the Tarkine Widerness Lodge, with many other artists who’d come together from across takayna/Tarkine.
Gathering around the fire was a good way got connect with old friends and new ones to talk about experiences and inspirations over Tarkine in Motion, it also gave me a chance to get a couple more portraits collected. ​

2018 was my 2nd year attending the artist collaborative event Tarkine in Motion and I went with a different sense of anticipation and a stronger sense of purpose.

​I signed up as a "Roamer", so rather than spending the event in one place or with one group I travelled to different locations and did a lot of solo exploration and got to visit a range of places I hadn't reached before.

Thursday afternoon, I left home late in the afternoon aiming to arrive on the West Coast in time for a little sunset photography at Bluff Hill Point.
​I was rewarded with a beautiful afternoon light and spectacular scenery, before heading into the group camp at Arthur River.
