Last night half of Australia would have been witness to a spectacular event in the skies above. This was one of the strongest Auroras that we have seen for a very long time ( the most powerful storm since 1989, when the Quebec power grid was taken out by the solar storm).
The previous morning was great but last night was exceptional.
I grabbed my camera bag, tripod and Mont Zero down jacket and headed out early to see if I could capture what was hopefully coming (you never really know until it happens) and also to try to find a place that wasn’t crowded with hopeful Aurora chasers.
Pulling up next to an old graveyard I could see a dim light moving about amongst the headstones, someone else had beaten me to it. As it turned out it was a photographer mate and we spent a couple of hours as shadowy shapes moving between the gravestones, capturing the light all around us.
We left for different viewpoints and I drove a couple of country roads looking for suitable foregrounds. I finally arrived at a spot that has some rather nice old trees, stark sentinels as they sat silently under the flickering waves of light.
This was an ethereal experience that I am unlikely to see again in my lifetime. A real honour to view Nature’s power at its finest.

This past month, Canberra’s trail running community came together at the Frith Road Substation in O’Connor for an action-packed night of testing, learning, and connecting. The Mont Trail Running Shoe Demo gave runners of all levels the chance to put the latest footwear from La Sportiva, On Running, Altra, and Hoka through their paces on a dedicated 1.2km trail loop.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.
