Award-winning aerial photographer Brett Price captures the first images of what will become the consummate collection of bird’s-eye-view photos over Australia’s national parks.
In the initial set of a series over his native country, Brett’s lens focuses on Victoria’s Grampians National Park (also Gariwerd) and Port Campbell. Grampians, a 2006 addition to the Australian National Heritage List, features a natural beauty formed through “one of the richest indigenous rock art sites in south-eastern Australia,” according to wikipedia.com. Port Campbell, a protected national park full of sheer cliffs, rock stacks, gorges, arches, and blow-holes, is world famous for its major tourist attractions: the Twelve Apostles, the London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge, the Gibson steps, and the Grotto.
Grampians and Port Campbell cover only a small percentage of the 28-million hectares of designated national parkland in Australia. Of the 500-plus national parks that can be found on the continent, Kakadu, Uluru-Kata Tjuta, and Purnululu are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Brett Price, who has been shooting aerial photography for over 10 years, plans to continue his work highlighting Australia’s national parks and making those images available to the public via Latitude Image.
