Halls Creek Town Walk
THE BRIEF:
LandCorp's Halls Creek Town Walk project was shortlisted for an international architecture award in a community benefit category. Given the town's remoteness, the judges were unable to visit the community to 'walk the walk' themselves.
My brief was to produce a 3min 'virtual walk' to take the judges on the journey and to hear the stories of locals about the positive impact the project had on their community
THE RESULT:
The clip was used to support LandCorp's final award presentation. It is also set to feature on Kimberley community television station Goolarri TV (GTV35) and ICTV, an Indigenous channel broadcast across northern Australia.
PRODUCTION:
Given budget constraints and the logistics of shooting in such a remote location, I used a photographer to take stills while walking the project to achieve a POV-feel without the use of a dolly or steadycam.. these stills were image sequenced and edited together with the vision and interviews I captured on the road.
Produced the clip including development of narrative and graphics. Also negotiated permission to use the soundtrack which featuring respected Kimberley artist and Halls Creek local Peter Brandy.
Kununurra, Western Australia
Kununurra is a small town built on big dreams. In a remote corner of the vast Kimberley region of Western Australia, its unaffected pastoral feel makes a comfortable base from which to explore the majestic natural attractions in the rugged surrounding landscape.
Kununurra's existence is due entirely to a grand engineering scheme to harness the Ord River, and establish an agriculture industry in the area. The town itself came into existence in the late 1950s as a support centre for the Ord Irrigation scheme. A few vanguard families slowly spread their multi-thousand acre properties across the fertile plain. In recent years, it has unceasingly shaken off its pragmatic origins to develop infrastructure for the growing number of visitors to this previously difficult-to-visit part of the Kimberley. From the initial handful of pioneering farmers, the permanent population has now grown to around 7,000. The town was officially gazetted as recently as 1961.
In the early days, farmers experimented with a range of crops and had variable results. Crops such as cotton and rice were dismal failures as pests and birds ate it quicker than it could grow. But sugar cane, bananas, melons and mangos became a very successful cash crop. In recent years, sandalwood plantations became more abundant. A trial of commercial hemp proved to be viable and production is tipped to be expanded once the states draconian laws can be modernised.

The Tour
On Saturday August 23rd 2014, we arranged for several families in Saigon to join us on a tour to Can Gio Mangrove Forest, in collaboration with Australia International School Vietnam.
Can Gio is a protected Unesco Biosphere Reserve of thick mangrove swamps with remarkably rich biodiversity, which remains one of Vietnam’s best kept secrets.
Our families departed Saigon early Saturday morning aboard our luxury speedboats to begin an amazing itinerary starting at a local riverside Mekong Delta market.
From there our boats meandered through the sleepy backwaters of picturesque Can Gio. We visited the Vam Set Eco Park, where the kids enjoyed meeting monkeys and feeding crabs, and boat rowing through the eerily quiet bat lagoon.
One of the most exciting parts of the tour was the crocodile feeding, which the parents enjoyed as much as the kids! Afterwards, the kids had the chance to hold adorable little baby crocs!
After a day full of adventures, a traditional Vietnamese lunch was enjoyed, before heading back to Saigon by speedboat, where the kids where presented with our Young Explorers Club certificates and some goodies from Les Rives.
A great day out was had by all!

Thai Seafood Feast: Family Vacation in Pattaya
Get the recipe for Thai seafood sauce, and see more of our Thai seafood feast here:
One of the reasons we had to come back from Koh Samui so soon ( was because my wife Ying had already made plans months ago with her sister’s and family to take a quick family vacation to a beach house in Pattaya, about an hour from Bangkok on the beach. I really didn’t have much of a clue what we were going to do at the beginning of the day, all I knew is that we rented a car, we were heading to Pattaya, and I was driving.
We left Bangkok at about 8 am after picking up our car, and after getting out of Bangkok we drove to Chonburi, and more specifically to an area called Ang Sila to go to Ang Sila Market (ตลาดอ่างศิลา), one of the best fresh fish and seafood markets in the area. I think it was my first time to go to this market, and I was pretty excited, not only because I love going to markets, but also because I love seafood. Ang Sila Market (อ่างศิลา) is a pretty good sized seafood market, and they have a variety of both dried seafood and snacks, and fresh seafood. We went to the market for the fresh seafood. I was walking around filming and taking as many photo as I could, but my wife and her family started shopping for our Thai seafood feast. They bought a bunch of seafood, probably more than I can remember. This was going to turn out to be a great Thai family vacation to Pattaya!
We got back into the car and drive to Pattaya and arrived to our hotel - a family style beach house at a place called Moonlight On The Sea Resort. Our house was pretty basic, but it was quite nice, facing the sea, with 4 rooms I think, and a really nice open downstairs and full kitchen. It was the type of house that was made for an entire family or a group of friends to come and hang out and eat and enjoy a peaceful side of Pattaya. The house also happened to be right next to the famous Sanctuary of Truth Pattaya - although we didn’t go inside because it has a pretty high entrance fee. After arriving to the beachhouse and checking in, we got straight to cooking all the seafood - ok, they all got straight to cooking, and I watched and took as many photos and videos as I could.
Thai seafood sauce recipe:
Be sure to read the full blog post, which includes a Thai seafood sauce recipe, here:
But I just want to say that one of the best ways to enjoy Thai seafood is to just cook it plain, either boil, grill, or steam, or anything plain, and eat it with what in Thai is called nam jim seafood, or seafood sauce. As long as you have a big bowl of Thai seafood sauce you can cook the seafood completely plain, and you’ll be able to have an amazing Thai seafood meal.
Here are the ingredients for this recipe:
Just crush or grind the garlic and chilies, then mix everything else together in a bowl. You’re not done yet. Part of cooking Thai food is taste testing. You need to taste test to make sure it’s the balance of flavors you’re after. I like mine more sour and spicy, while my family likes it sweeter. So keep mixing and matching until you’ve got a perfect Thai seafood sauce. Let the recipe ingredients just be a guide.
That was really it for the day for this family vacation to Pattaya. I had a great time at Ang Sila Market (อ่างศิลา), and our seafood feast was incredible.
