Our guest speaker for the evening will be celebrated and inspirational Tasmanian Landscape and Adventure Photographer Grant Dixon.

Grant has been exploring Tasmania's uniquely wild and wonderful landscape for some forty years, with camera never far from hand, and, for more than thirty years, has also trekked, climbed, skied and photographed (and sometimes all four), in many other wild and remote areas of the planet. He is particularly attracted to cool climate regions and mountain landscapes and has explored parts of all seven continents, and many different environments.

Images from Grant's travels have been widely published and continue the Tasmanian tradition of photography activating awareness of the environment. He co-publishes a calendar, Wild Tasmania, and has recently published his first book, Winter Light. His illustrated articles have appeared widely in various outdoor, geographic, conservation, travel and special interest publications internationally. Grant has also co-authored several guidebooks for Lonely Planet.

Grant’s many image portfolios can be viewed on his Webpage:

The evening will also include movie slideshows from our Autumn Seasonal Colour & Monochrome photo competitions, as judged by the Morris Photocolor Group from New Jersey, USA.
