Noosa Triathlon MultiSport Festival 2013

Hi all

Here's a progressive update on my 'photo trip' to last weekend's Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival. As I process the photos I took on the weekend I'll update this blog post with links to my various photo galleries. At this stage I'll just include a link to each gallery and perhaps a sample pic. Here goes! :)

Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run 2013 Photos

Hi all

Early on Sunday morning, 1 September 2013, I had a great time snapping pics at the 2013 Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run. It was great to see all the athleticism, colour, costumes, happiness, and willingness to donate to charity. Here are some pics:

Athlete with a disability doing a great job near the finish


A high finisher with time for a thumbs-up and a smile






Queensland Premier Campbell Newman having done very well.


I need that refreshing water


Running in a suit - all in a morning's work

Another great job by the helpers at the aid station

Quiksilver Pro Surfing, 2013, Snapper Rocks, Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Australia

Hi all

A few months ago I was lucky to be able to get to a fantastic day's ASP World Tour Surfing at the 2013 Quiksilver Pro, at Snapper Rocks on Australia's Gold Coast. Here are some pics from a very enjoyable day:

Jordy Smith


Tour Rookie Nat Young, who, from my humble perspective, was the best I saw from a talent vs experience viewpoint


Spectacular surfing by Aussie Taj Burrow


Jeremy Flores


Julian Wilson


(Reigning) 2012 World Surfing Champion, Australian Joel Parkinson


Michel Bourez


Wonderful tube / barrel action from Joel Parkinson


Matt Wilkinson on a nice wall of water


What better way to finish than with 11 times World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater who has just won the Volcom Pro in Fiji


Here's my Smugmug photo gallery on the 2013 Quiksilver Pro at Snapper Rocks, Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Australia.

Thanks so much for looking.
