King Island pictorial and videorial

King Island is a beautiful piece of land - rugged coastline on the west coast, and pristine sandy beaches on the east coast. It all makes for some spectacular images and videos of just the small part I've seen. Here's a few photos from last weekend...enjoy!!

This boathouse on Currie harbour was just burnt out last year - this is the replacement.

This ramp extends in front of the boathouse - quite aged and worn-out, but in keeping with an old harbour.

An old winch next to Currie harbour, so corroded the rust literally falls off in flakes.

An old boat, broken apart with bushes growing through it.

Currie lighthouse across the harbour. All very picturesque.

A crayfish boat loading crays from their hold into these tubs. The crays were jumping all over the place!!

A spectacular sunset sequence.

I hate snakes...and this one beside the car scared the sh*t out of me!!

Here's the same damn snake in a video.

Me on some rocks at Whistler Point, Quarantine Bay on the north-west coast.

A 360 degree panoramic view from where I was standing.

It was a spectacular day - clear, calm, warm and scenic.

Shipwreck of the paddlesteamer "Shannon" which sunk in 1906.

Shannon shipwreck on Yellow Rock beach with big, dark clouds in the distance.

Cape Wickham communications tower in a shaft of light.

Who needs a pilot when I'm in the front seat!!!

Ready to take-off from King Island airport.

Taking off from King Island airport, from the front seat!!

Whistler Point from the air - the place we were at earlier in the afternoon.

Cape Wickham lighthouse at the north end of the island.

Looking along the eastern side of King Island - a lot of beaches in the distance.

Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula.


Arthurs Seat and northwards towards Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston and beyond.

Landing at Moorabbin aiport - it was very windy!!
