Geographe Bay


Flying out over Geographe Bay, Busselton.
I am pretty lucky to have the opportunity to fly every so often and I am even luckier to sometimes fly over spectacular areas like this. Geographe Bay is located in the south-west region of Western Australia. Cape Naturaliste can be seen on the horizon and is usually the first place in the area to be on the receiving end of strong winter cold fronts, where gusts over 100km/h are not uncommon.

Burns Beach Sunsets #2

Burns Beach is one of my favourite local beaches to photograph. Rock features on the north side of the groyne provide a great foreground for the magical sunsets the West Australian coast is renowned for. Next time I hope to arrive just a little earlier so I can get to another location further to the south of this spot.

Burns Sunsets

Another shot from my growing collection from Burns Beach. This place has so many areas to photograph, and to reside in a place where we get sunsets like this all the time, I could’t think of a better place to be

Perth Thunderstorms 12th December 2011

Wowwee. What a crazy night out last night. I haven’t seen that kind of lightning action for a long time in Perth. I know other places around the country get this all the time, but for Perth it was a great start to hopefully a fairly active summer storm season. Perth had a total of 43.6mm in the gauge to 9am this morning (the 3rd wettest December day), while other places around the south west land division had record falls in and around 70mm. Williams, a town 150km SE of Perth, had the wettest December day ever and second wettest day of all time with 125.6mm.
It was all caused by a mid level disturbance that was situated off our west coast and was fed moisture by a decaying tropical cyclone that has been lingering around in the Indian Ocean the past week.

Now this rain is great for our dams, but take a thought for our farmers. After a better then average winter rain cycle that produced the best crops for a number of years, this rain is an unwanted friend, hampering harvesting efforts and in some cases completely destroying entire crops.

I was very fortunate to meet up with some other weathernuts from WA based forum WAweathergroup.com to watch and record this system approach and come over the coast.

If you are interested in the weather in any shape or form then this forum is the place to be.  A West Australian based group of very friendly, enthusiastic and open minded people with common interests who are willing to answer any weather related question. You don’t have to be from Western Australia  to join as they have forums that cover most topics from around the country and the parts of the world.   The forum has members throughout the state that provide regular observations of the current weather conditions affecting their area.
The group is heavily involved in a social media capacity as well with active Twitter and Facebook groups.

So if this interests you I would highly recommend joining.

Here are a couple of photos from last night.

If you would like to know the settings for each of the separate photos then just PM me.

Till next time……
