In April of 2022, we travelled to William Creek to do some aerial photography at Lake Eyre, which was renamed Kati Thanda in 2013. Kati Thanda was the sacred name for the flat saltpan and meant “the name of the lake which was formed after the skin of a kangaroo was spread over the ground”. […]
In April of 2022, we planned a trip to William Creek to do some aerial photography at Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre. William Creek is not easy to reach – the options (from most to least expensive) are: Fly to Coober Pedy (via Adelaide) and arrange a charter flight to fly you to William […]
When the Australian border reopening was announced, we immediately booked flights to visit my mom in the US, who we haven’t seen since November of 2019. About a month before departure, we got an email from Qantas about a flight schedule change. Not only did we now have a 16 hour layover in Los Angeles, […]

My most common response was, “go to Adelaide, then fly an […]
There are few things that make me smile like snorkelling with sea lions, and Port Lincoln is one of the best places on the planet. The first time we visited (2015) I only had a GoPro (and it wasn’t turned on for THE_MOST_AMAZING_ENCOUNTER_EVER). The second time we visited (2017) we had the new camera housings, […]
(Location: South Australia, Australia) When we got the new underwater housings, we knew we would be returning to Port Lincoln. We’d visited back in 2015, and had an amazing time. The sea lions come RIGHT up to you, to the point where you can feel their whiskers. Unfortunately my GoPro was off half the time […]
