July 08 - Tetepare Times

I'm now living on the largest uninhabited island in the South Pacific, working on a conservation project. I'll be spending 18 months on this remote island, returning to Melbourne November 2009. I guess the fact that my wife and I live on Tetepare means that it is no longer uninhabited...

Tetepare is a 120 square kilometre island in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. It has a 13 km Marine Protected Area (MPA), a barrier reef lagoon brimming with colourful fish and coral and is covered with virgin rainforest. There is a 12 bed ecolodge for visitors, but other than us, there are no permanent residents.

Local rangers and marine monitors visit to monitor the reefs and forests and check for compliance in the MPA. There are no communications on the island other than HF Radio, so website updates will have to be few and far between.

If you need to contact me, I will occassionally be able to receive emails when I visit Munda - the closest regional town to Tetepare.

January, 2006 - get lost! magazine

I shot this five page spread late in 2005, on the idyllic island of Caye Caulker, in the warm Caribbean waters off Belize.

I was in Central America for a series of topside shoots, and so, unfortunately, didn't have my underwater gear on hand. Luckily, a few smooth Beliken Beers and balmy evenings enjoying the sea breeze with my feet in the sand, helped sooth that regret.

January, 2006 - get lost! magazine

Near the border of South Australia and Victoria, lies a massive volcanic plain, pocked with sinkholes. This area is mecca for cave divers, who come from around the world to dive the gin-clear waters of these freshwater sinkholes. Picanninie Ponds is, perhaps, the most famous of the local sinkholes, and sits above a massive cavern. Nearby Ewans Ponds is a spectacular sinkhole, located close to the border of Victoria and South Australia.

I shot this story on a short trip to the border during a few icy dips in the sinkholes.
