Upcoming Education Night June Wilderness landscapes are Paul’s passion and he moved himself to far north Queensland to 1984 to pursue his goal of having the best photo library in that part of the world. He was attracted to the countryside around Cairns which has everything from pristine, golden beaches devoid of footprints to permanently damp mountain tops with views over unspoiled wilderness, to dry sandstone escarpment country of deep gorges and caves – all within 2 hours drive of his home in Kuranda. Photography is his driving force and so for the last 35 years has been studiously visiting and re- visiting the remotest corners of North Queensland towards that goal of having a photographic representation of North Queensland’s wilderness that is second to none. The results have been published in calendars and books and have illustrated a number of magazine articles on outdoors adventure and photography. As a consequence of those photographic travels the locally best selling “Traveller’s Guide to North Queensland” was published in 1996 which also makes for a great photographer’s companion. It is currently in its 5th edition with around 9,000 being sold. His latest publishing journey has seen the launch of the major publication “A Heritage of Trees”, with words by Rupert Russell and additional photography by Steven Nowakowski and a number of others. Paul also runs a small personalised photo-tour business and photographic workshops. All his tours and books can be found on his website below along with a gallery of around 1,200 images.
