Whalers Way is a little visited stretch of coastline at the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula. It costs $30 to get in, but you are welcome to stay overnight (no facilities). There is some extraordinary scenery to be had and no hordes of tourists. The ocean rules and the extremes of the Indian Ocean can often be seen here. It's definitely a get-away-from-it-all place.

Melba Gully Track is a once-popular but now overlooked bushwalk on the Great Ocean Road. It features ferny glades and beautiful forest and makes a wonderful diversion from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Great Ocean Road. Just west of Lavers Hill you'll see the turnoff. My recommendation is to take it.

An early morning start up Marions Lookout was rewarded by avoiding the crowds and catching the day's early light on this perfect autumn day on the Cradle plateau.

The local training walks are distributed through the Adelaide Hills, but this was a first time at the Onkaparinga River adjacent Adelaide's southern suburbs. And what a surprise it was, with glorious waterholes and cliffs very reminiscent of Flinders Ranges gorges a long way to the north of Adelaide. The water levels were quite low when we went through and it was obvious that with higher winter flows the rough trails could go underwater in places.

The local Adelaide Hills are visited on most weekends for regular training walks to keep the body going.
In Autumn, a particularly attractive place to visit is the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens.
Set on the steep eastern sides of Mount Lofty, one can enjoy the rich and varied colours more akin to Autumn in other parts of the world while pushing uphill.

At the end of the Ravine des Casoars walk on Kangaroo Island, this curious Scarlet Robin came and sat on the side mirror of our car, watching us intently. When it flew to a nearby branch I grabbed a few quick shots.

The sound of hoarfrost forming on the ground by the tent was a good reason to get up and see what was going on. A small tarn nearby had frozen over and provided a perfect spot to watch the sunrise.

I'm lucky there's a lakeside park just down from where I live. There are always birds there, particularly in the area of a prolific grevillea. You just have to set up the tripod and wait. I've never had it so good!
