MOSMAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Photography Field Trips VIEWMAG.NET - 2015
Do you have a need to get out and explore? Take a look locally - at the Mosman area and its spectacular foreshores.
With the recently opened vista of military sites and fortifications, held for 100 years for the defence of Sydney Harbour, these foreshores are steeped in Sydney’s military and navigational heritage. Bushland walking tracks provide opportunities to view major Sydney icons such at the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, or to simply absorb the natural environment.
If you have an interest in photography, Mosman Community College includes in its program each term a field trip - walking, talking and photographing along the bush track from Athol Wharf to Bradley’s Head. Here you can learn about your camera and take photos “in-the-field” while experiencing the bushland around Sydney Harbour.
Long-term photography tutor Christopher Maait conducts the one-day course. He knows the track well having collaborated with local resident Claire Mitchell to produce the book, ‘Mosman Meanders and foreshore flavours.
In over ten years teaching at the college Chris has conducted many photography fieldtrips around Mosman, but Bradley’s Head is always a favourite with his students. It has become an integral part to his regular Photography Classes. He says there is a real pleasure to walk so close to home and still feel as though we are far from anything. Nature abounds in floral and animal specimens, living
amongst the Eucalypt and Angophora stands along the way. It’s always amazing to find students who have lived in this part of Sydney much of their lives and have never been to Bradley’s Head!
This area is so close to the CBD and is renowned for its history and beauty.
Mosman Foreshores Photography Field Trip is only a small part of this extensive walking track, so should you be inspired to do more walking, with friends and family in tow, a copy of the book is
included as a keepsake or reference of your journey.
For booking information on the Mosman Foreshores Field Trip or
