Willunga Basin

I grew up at Morphett Vale and remained there until 1974, when Bruce and I married and my dad

(Ralph Collins) built what was supposed to be just our first home, at Port Willunga.

49 years later - we’re still in that home, having raised our three daughters, Katherine, Rhianna and Sarah here and with no desire to ever move. I’ve always enjoyed photography but after retiring in 2017, decided to invest in some quality ‘gear’ and take that enjoyment up a notch or two. I enjoy all aspects of photography and “freezing moments in time” is fascinating.

I love sunrises and sunsets and being only 300m from the old jetty remains at “Port Willy”, it’s easy to nip out and capture them, both there or at other nearby beaches and locations.

I especially love capturing images of birds - the anticipation of what I might find each time I visit my favourite locations, along with the challenge of capturing the very best, pin-sharp images,

especially their eyes.

Three years ago, I added a little drone to my ‘gear’ and the images and footage I’ve captured is amazing - it’s truly like being a bird in the sky.

Thanks to John for inviting me to feature some of my images on this site and also for the time he devotes to developing and maintaining ‘Willunga Basin Photography’.
