I am blessed (and cursed) to live with a West facing balcony, so get to witness a lot of gorgeous skies. This was taken a couple of nights back.

Recently I went on a trip with Out Doors Inc (if you're on the NDIS here in Victoria and crave the outdoors this group is well worth looking up).
We went on a short walk through the Dementia friendly forest and sensory trail near Ballarat on the lands of the Wadawurrung people.

On Wednesday I went to Snake Valley (on the lands of the Wadawurrung) with Out Doors Inc for an overnight adventure.
We did a couple of small stops. On Thursday we were meant to do a longer walk but the van got bogged for an hour in 4wd country thanks to Google maps taking us the "quickest" way. We did not end up doing the walk. Fortunately it only rained on us a bit and we managed to push the van back out & "get outta dodge" (as the saying goes).

Here's an out-take of my photo shoot with sublime artist Jessie Ngaio in rural Victoria on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung. Harcourt was badly affected by fire but the land is finally healing.

I've been in Benalla (rural Victoria) on Yorta Yorta country for the past couple of nights.
Yesterday I went for a walk through the forest and stumbled upon this water tower. I was out appreciating nature, but these structures really floated my boat.
Image description: The Tin roof tops of red brick buildings can be seen behind barbed wire. Behind the buildings there is a looming white concrete water tower on the left. On the right there are two red rusted towers. There are no clouds in the blue sky.

On Wednesday my support worker & I ventured to Queenscliff. I've been there a few times but not enough apparently to figure out where West is, so did not get the heavenly Sunset in my images, but I am happy with the images I took.

This week's instalment is from Kingston Park on Kaurna country. I was there this week with family at the caravan park to scatter our ma's ashes on the beach.
We watched as she was washed out to sea. It was a sad occasion, we all had a cry, but it was cathartic to send her off on her final voyage as per her wishes.
Us siblings wear a pendant with some ashes inside, so she comes with us everywhere still (she does more exercise now than she was ever accustomed to π ). Regardless, she is forever in our hearts, loved always.

This is self described "Gaysian empress of Sydney", Dyan Tai. I took this on behalf of Midsumma at the VIC Pride Street party a couple of weeks ago.

Here's my friend, Dean Arcuri, aka Frock Hudson at this year's Midsumma Festival Pride March in Naarm.
This is the last week of the festival and I've so far shot 7 events with another 2 to go, including VIC Pride on Sunday (here's hoping the rain decides to skip Fitzroy). I'm an exhausted and sore queer, but love what I do!

Below is one of the many talented drag queens of MOCO: Summer Break, which I had the pleasure of shooting for Midsumma Festival. Moco is a collective of First Nations drag artists in Naarm.
