As Port Stephens locals we are blessed with an ubundance of beautiful, photographic oportunities all around us. Take the stretch of sand from Samauri to Middle Rock to One Mile Beach for example. The sand dunes roll high up behind the beaches and are coated in salt bush, thistles and grasses to provide the perfect foreground for stunning coastal images. As an avid landscape photographer it is hard to fault this stretch of the Port Stepehns Coastline found on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Just around the corner to Morna Point and Boat Harbour, and you will discover more beautiful beaches, stunning rockpools, rocky outcrops and views all the way down Birubi to Stockton Beach. Annually in the months of May through to September, Boat Harbour becomes the perfect place to observe, experience and photograph the remarkable whale migration up and down the East Coast of Australia. During this time of year, a variety of whales migrate through this area, creating an amazing display of nature's wonders as they pass. Lucky photographers may expect to capture a photograph of the majestic humpback whales in breach, but be pre warned that this is no easy feat.
