Australia Solar Eclipse
G'day isn't enough—we'll also bid g'night. A photograhy adventure of a lifetime awaits Down Under. Endless coastline, beautiful desert, wondrous wildlife, pristine night skies and more, and then the dark totality of a solar eclipse.
Tour Summary
July TBA, 2028
Continue our celestial chase of the total solar eclipse—this time on the seventh continent, Australia.
We are in the midst of curating an immersive day- and night-photography tour across Australia’s vast, sun-drenched landscapes and ancient, red-dirt deserts.
By day, you will hone your skills capturing the dramatic contrast of rugged coastlines, sweeping Outback horizons and unique native wildlife. When darkness falls, our expedition will transform into an astro-landscape photography masterclass under some of the clearest, most pristine night skies in the Southern Hemisphere.
The pinnacle of this journey will arrive on July 22, 2028, when we will stand directly in the path of totality to photograph the breathtaking magic of a total solar eclipse, Down Under style.

A Wild Walkabout …
“I knew next to nothing about this island nation that sat between three oceans an entire world away.”
When I was 26 years old, I had a wild idea. I decided I’d go spend some time in Australia. Not just a week or two—I wanted to go for months. I wanted to go walkabout.
Planning took a couple of years. It was not a small endeavor. I had a good job and a budding career as a magazine writer and editor. I didn’t have a lot of money. I knew next to nothing about this island nation that sat between three oceans an entire world away.
Still, something in me whispered—over and over—that I needed to go.
So I saved money, absorbed all the information I could about this country, and in early 2001 I was ready to fly around the world to explore.
I brought my dad’s Navy duffel bag, packed solid with clothes, a blanket and the very first laptop that my friend ever owned (he let me borrow it—what a guy!). I bought a camera backpack and loaded it with two Nikon F5’s and a few lenses, and packed about 100 rolls of slide film.
I landed in Melbourne and rented a truck that would serve as both my transportation and my bed. I slept in it most nights, waking each morning an hour before sunrise, followed by shooting for a few hours, writing and driving during midday, then shooting more at the end of then afternoon into the evening.
I loved the country. Loved the landscapes, loved the wildlife, loved the food, loved the people. Life isn’t filled with many times when you know at every moment that you’re doing something you’ll remember forever—but my walkabout gave me that gift every day.
Eventually I came home. That was more than 25 years ago. Twenty-five years of wonderful memories, all always calling me back. And now I—joined by you—will return to walkabout again.
