Treechange : From Sydney to Port Macquarie

Crescent Head Beach Sunrise

 

I have made a treechange, packing up life in Inner City Sydney, to move up the coast 400km to the beautiful little coastal town of Crescent Head.  Up here, life rolls by at a different pace.  I have time to kick back with a beverage at dusk and watch silhouettes of kangeroos bounce across the pink horizon.  The mornings greet me with layers of dawn bird songs over the gentle purr of the ocean: a welcome change from the roaring engines and rattling windows that once awoke me as jets landed at Sydney Airport.

I don’t mind missing out on conveniences like cafes, restaurants and late night grocers.  Like when travelling, you learn to adapt to a new environment quickly, just because you have to.  You embrace it, and truly appreciate it when you stumble upon something you love.

Now up here on the Mid North Coast, I will be basing my photography studio in Port Macquarie, as well as focusing more on international photo work, and continuing shooting in Sydney.

I’m really looking forward to connecting with people here in the Port Macquarie and Crescent Head areas.  In a region bursting with entrepreneurs, and where local business dominates, I’m sure to be inspired by the people I meet and the adventures that lay ahead.
