Over the past few months, we've visited some of the most amazing otherworldly landscapes of the Australian outback. We've compiled some of our favourite clips from 'Bumble' our Mavic Pro drone into a single video. My favourite parts are the shots of Lake Hart from the air (towards the end). The video works … Continue reading Landscapes of the Outback

The Scorching Skies Above Us, Part 5
The next morning, we set off for the gorge as early as possible so I could hopefully retrieve our drone before the heat of the day. I estimated the return distance to be about 2km, plus time to scramble up and down – 45mins tops to get Bumble and get back to the car. At … Continue reading The Scorching Skies Above Us, Part 5
The Scorching Skies Above Us, Part 4
This is a story of how our travels nearly came to an abrupt end in the Pilbara region of North West Australia. We've waited until the end of our year-long Australian adventure to publish this because it’s a tale that might've made many of our family and friends worry while we were still on the … Continue reading The Scorching Skies Above Us, Part 4

The Deep Blue Beyond

Our experiences there were so surreal that we felt like we were in a movie the entire time! Actually, I'll qualify that – we felt like we were … Continue reading The Deep Blue Beyond
Dunes of the Turquoise Coast
We bought a new toy when we were in Perth - a Mavic Pro drone. I've been trying to tear it out of Al's hands ever since so I can have a go! It's a little bit addictive. In the short video below, you can see Al's first attempts at creating drone footage for our Four Corners … Continue reading Dunes of the Turquoise Coast

While we were there, we took the time to visit Cape Leeuwin, which is the most South-Westerly spot on mainland Australia, and recorded a short piece reflecting on our journey to … Continue reading We reached our Fourth Corner!

Milky Way over the Woolshed
This image is composed of a mosaic of 21 sub-images, taken at a chilly 5am on the 24th February while we were staying at The Woolshed at Pike River (a tiny rural settlement near Lyrup in the Riverlands region of South Australia). We mounted Tanya’s super-duper camera onto the back of the telescope so that … Continue reading Milky Way over the Woolshed
