Mt. Macedon, Camels Hump. Dare only to venture out here on a warm day, this place will freeze your finger tips clean off on a cold day. Ideal for a summer day trip, only about an hour out of Melbourne, with sport and trad climbing and a super easy walk in to boot!

See... it's not all about boys and their big muscles.
Brendon and Chris Abernethy, Horsham born and bred (though left for the 'big smoke' of Melbourne) have enjoyed the spoils of both Arapiles and the Grampians for many a year. You can take a boy away from the rock but you can't take the rock out of the boy!

Before the 2006 firestorm that engulfed much of the surrounding area of Halls Gap - including Mt. Bundaleer, the cliffs of this area proved to be a welcome reprieve from the summer scorching heat. Given the cliffs are mostly in shade it was a cool(er) place to climb than most other Grampians areas. The area has since been re-opened and re-bolted.

Manic Depressive is possibly one of the most attempted (and climbed) routes in the area, providing a warm up to some of the more serious climbs further along the cliffs.
Photography is an art form so many take for granted, everyone has a camera on their phone these days so what makes 'me' special?
Apart from my 12 plus years of experience in the industry and being honoured with Australian and international awards I'm a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister… a friend. I am driven by a passion for capturing life in all it's moments, the highlights and all the moments in between.
Maternity, Birth, and Newborn photography are my focus and I consider myself blessed to be able to capture such unique and special experiences for my clients… my friends.
