Flinders Island Photography Workshop

Touch down at Flinders Island Airport and transfer to Mountain Seas Lodge, ideally situated at the foot of Mount Strzelecki and within easy reach of the coastline. After settling in, the first photography session heads to Fortheringate Beach to capture the late afternoon light bathing the granite cliffs and lichen-rich shoreline. Cameron takes time to understand each participant's current approach to composition and camera settings, allowing the tuition to be tailored to every level for the remainder of the workshop. The day closes with stunning coastal colours as the sun drops behind Mount Strzelecki, before returning to Mountain Seas for dinner. Overnight at Mountain Seas Lodge.

Rise before dawn for a breathtaking sunrise shoot from Walkers Lookout, high above the island's coastline, with views across the Darling Ranges and the Tasman Sea. After breakfast, head north to the North East River Inlet for coastal photography among lichen-covered granite boulders, vibrant waters, and diverse birdlife. Abstract photography opportunities abound in the sand patterns and shells of the shoreline. After a packed lunch, continue to Palana for the chance to photograph wombats in the green coastal fields alongside World War II communication bunker relics. The day closes with a sunset session at the rugged coastal township of Killiecrankie, where the seas crash dramatically below Mount Killiecrankie. Overnight at Mountain Seas Lodge.

Sawyers Bay opens the day with some of the finest lichen-covered rocks on the island, bathed in early morning light for a spectacular sunrise session. After breakfast, the east coast wetlands and inlets beckon, with Cameron's Inlet offering exceptional birdwatching and wildlife photography opportunities including cape Barren geese and soaring white-bellied sea eagles. Longer telephoto techniques are covered in this session. The afternoon returns to the west coast for a sunset shoot at Lillie's Beach, where the remains of an old jetty set against the mountain backdrop create one of the island's most iconic photographic compositions. If skies are clear, an optional after-dinner astrophotography session takes advantage of Flinders Island's exceptionally dark skies for Milky Way photography. Overnight at Mountain Seas Lodge.

The morning's sunrise session heads to the township of Whitemark, where endless green and yellow fields backed by Mount Strzelecki provide a sweeping pastoral composition, with the chance of black swans adding to the scene. After breakfast, the day explores some of the island's lesser-visited locations, beginning with Wybalenna Chapel — a site of deep and complex Aboriginal history that is treated with care and respect, and home to a thriving wombat community. The afternoon continues north to Castle Rock, widely regarded as the jewel of Flinders Island's photographic locations, where a giant granite boulder sits dramatically on the coastline surrounded by coastal grasses, lichen-covered rocks, and crashing seas. Sunset here is extraordinary. Overnight at Mountain Seas Lodge.

The final sunrise session returns to Trousers Point, a favourite location just minutes from Mountain Seas Lodge, where turquoise waters fill the foreground and Mount Strzelecki towers above this secluded cove in the early morning light. A fitting close to the photography journey. After a final breakfast at Mountain Seas, check out and transfer to Flinders Island Airport, departing with a collection of extraordinary images and memories from one of Tasmania's most beautiful and rarely visited island destinations.
