After photographing things microscopic for nearly 20 years I decided in 2005 to get out and photograph macroscopic things aswell. The result has been the development of a series of Virtual Walkabouts on DVD that are slideshows of actual walking tracks in some of Australia's most beautiful nationalparks and nature reserves. They were initially designed to give the disabled, ill and elderly the opportunity to experience the walks for themselves. I was absolutely stoked to get Tjupurru to recordseismic didjeridu (Didjeribone and Face Bass) soundtracks for each of the walks. This opened a whole new audience as they are now very popular forrevitalising exercise programs, allowing people to go longer and stronger, urged on by the cyclic breathing rhythm of the didjeribone and beautiful streaming scenery.
Virtual Walkabout DVDs are available for sale Now!
I always stream one of my walks live over a video server so if you want to experience a walk while online point your browser to

West Canungra Creek Track
(Lamington National Park, QLD)
This very steep track leaves the Border Track near Green Mountains and descends past placid Darraboola Falls and some magnificent red cedar trees to Yerralahla (or blue Pool) on West Canungra Creek.
Follow the creek upstream through lush subtropical rainforest, cross Bundoomba Creek, then rock-hop over numerous crossings of Cunungra Creek. Discover Kalgamahla, Goondaree and Yanbacoochie Falls before meeting the end of the Box Forest Track. Continue on to Tollerigumai or Box Log Falls before venturing a little further to the magnificent Elabana Falls and Picnic Rock.
Both Box Forest Track and Toolona Creek Track (featured on other DVDs in the Lamington National Park series) branch off at junctions in this region of the West Canungra Creek Track.
EPA Park Alert! (June 2008) - It is safe to walk to the Pool and back, but you can't go further as there has been a few landslides and it is unsafe for the time being.
See it ALL in this Virtual Walkabout.
If you can go "cross-eyed" then play with the following animated gif while listening. Cross your eyes so you get four dancers,then bring the inner two images together by relaxing your eyes so that they superimpose exactly. Presto your eyes will lock in andyou will see the dancer in bold 3D with a peripheral image either side of her. Can you do it? Groove on ..
Feel free to place any of my short videos below on your pages so your friends can go for a walk too! Thanks in advance if you do. These are short samples of some available walks to allow you to discover what they are like. Make sure you pause the background track on my profile as each video features the amazing sounds of Tjupurru on didjeridu.
