Photographs of Sydney & Surrounds

Sydney's Northern Beaches stretches along the beautiful coastline from Manly as far north as Palm Beach and is a mecca for beach lovers not only on the Northern Beaches but great Sydney as well as Australian and International visitors.

Manly Beach, probably the most famous, is easily accessed from Sydney via the iconic Manly Ferry and is one of the most photographed regions of Sydney.

The coastal feel comes alive pre-dawn with surfers, Surf Lifesavers and fitness enthusiasts going about their daily ritual to the rhythm of the ocean; under a glorious rising sun.

The majestic Blue Mountains in NSW has it all for any traveller; spectacular valley views from atop sandstone escarpment, breath-taking waterfalls, and a vast array of fauna and fauna. Any visit to Sydney would not be complete without a visit to The Blue Mountains and Katoomba. The area offers spectacular scenery, plant life and wildlife to the visitor.
Echo Point and the Three Sisters are a sight to behold and easily accessible to all. Some exploring away from the thong of visitors reveals charms like Empress cascades, Wentworth Falls, and the Under-cliff walking track. It is a photographer's paradise for any time of the year, and no view is ever the same.
For many years, the Blue Mountains were considered an impenetrable barrier to early explorers heading west and even the outback beyond. The notion is thought to have been perpetrated by Sydney authorities to deter the thoughts and ambitions of convicts who try to escape and seek refuge beyond the mountain range.
The Blue Mountains forms part of the Great Dividing Range of Australia, which runs along the continent's eastern seaboard and consists mainly of a sandstone plateau. The area is dissected by gorges up to 760 metres deep. The highest point of the Blue Mountains is 1,190 metres above sea level, and in 2000, much of the region was World Heritage Listed.
The Blue Mountains National Park offers excellent walking trails, and many areas are still relatively untouched. There are a never-ending array of spectacular mountain vistas and wonderful water and cascade scenes for the photographer.
