Welcome to the online photographic gallery of Australian photographer Simon  Bayliss. A passionate landscape photographer, Simon's photographic journey began as a child but not pursued until after a long hiatus while pursuing the 'normal' career path. Over the last 8 years Simon has tirelessly reconnected with the inner creative though both self education and endless road trips in the pursuit of nurturing his innate photographic character.

With brilliant lighting and careful settings, his photographs are both impressive and impressionistic.

The magnificent and iconic Darling River is one of the best examples of what Dorothy Mackellar was alluding to in her famous poem 'My Country', " I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains".

The Darling River meanders through NSW from its origins in Queensland's Darling Downs - via the Warrego and Culgoa Rivers - and from the northern NSW tributaries of Barwon, Gwydir, Namoi, Castlereagh and Bogan rivers.

Broken Hill, known as 'The Silver City', is the largest centre in Outback New South Wales and is often referred to as its “Jewel". Located 1,160 km from Sydney, the city came into existence in 1885 after Charles Rasp had recognized the mineral potential of the area two years earlier. Today the city sits on one of the world's largest known silver-lead-zinc lodes – a deposit which is 7 km long and over 220 metres wide.

** NEW ** The spectacular area of the Victorian Surf Coast around Anglesea is dotted with fantastic coastal vistas and attracts all types of visitors; surfers are attracted to the great beaches along the Great Ocean Road particularly Bells Beach, holiday makers and families come for the protected beaches of Roadknight and Anglesea Main Beach, nature walkers are well catered for with several National Parks, and those wishing to see and photograph one of the coast's best lighthouse come to Airey's to photograph Split Point Lighthouse which has been guiding ships away from the rugged Southern Ocean Coastline.

Bombo Beach and Minnamurra - Located very close the beautifully set south coast seaside town of Kiama, Bombo (Beach and Headland), Cathedral Rock (Jones Beach) and Minnamurra Beach are spectacular tourist destinations located a bit over an hour from Sydney. The area has plenty for the visitor; surfing at Bombo Beach or Mystic's Beach, coastal walks and some wonderful swimming spots. All this within an easy drive of Kiama accommodation for those who wish to stay a day or two.

Anyone visiting Australia soon realises that we like our beaches and the coastal lifestyle associated with it. And it is not hard to see why when touring the south coast and viewing Gerringong, Werri Beach, and the beautiful hinterland from the Mount Pleasant lookout just south of Kiama. It is possibly one of the most beautiful scenes of the east coast of Australia; and less than 2 hours drive from Sydney.

Gerroa - 7 Mile Beach - Situated on the coast, just south of Kiama, lies the township of Gerroa, on the Crooked River, at the northern end of 7 Mile Beach. Seven Mile beach, part of the Seven Mile Beach National Park, is a beautiful stretch of golden sand that extends down to the Shoalhaven River near Nowra.

Kiama New South Wales.  Kiama, a beautifully set seaside town located on the south coast of NSW, is located about 130kms south of Sydney and sits beautifully between the escarpment of the Southern Highlands and the Pacific Ocean. The coast at Kiama is probably some of the most beautiful in all the country; and it comes as no surprise that it is one of the state's top holiday destinations.

** NEW ** Originally referred to as "Sow and Piglets" but renamed by early settlers as The Twelve Apostles, the limestone stacks, which are reputed to be the world's tallest, rise majestically out of the Southern Ocean just off the coast. Formed by constant eroding of the softer limestone that makes up the coast, the Apostles are created as harder limestone remains as the coast is eroded inland.

Accurate brand communication has never been more important; particularly when considering the growing use and effectiveness of online promotion and its contribution to tourism marketing. (Especially in this increasingly competitive market). The promotional ‘image’ of businesses (how they present their business/service) is the first and foremost opportunity they have to promote their business/service to potential customers.
