We are a volunteer group building a 25 kilometre mountain bike trail and would like to see all people come and help build this fantastic community project.

A big hats off to Murray and the boys for the dedication and perseverance in making this project happen. As volunteers, the amount of time and effort you've all put in to get it this point is to be commended. The trail is coming along so well…

Dale, I like Nikon's but Lumix is also a wonderful robust camera ( Canon and Nikon copied a lot of tech stuff first introduced by Lumix). I find/found that to enjoy taking great pictures you need at least a 12X zoom for walking the track. It…

Hi Dale I use a Olympus U 1030 SW. It's' shock and waterproof, has 10.1 megapixels and also 3.6 optical zoom. Fits in your hand ,easy in the pocket but not the lightest of the Olympus cameras. I take this camera everywhere.

I've ridden the trails and yes they are good. The "Relentless Blue" trails is a corker, very demanding. The beginners trail is very well done. My wife (who is a beginner) had an absolute ball riding it. I believe the good people of…

Hey Wal, I've been following your work, all be it anonymously, via the PMBC and SWMBC websites. We've ridden (some of) Pile Rd (when the up trail was half done). Always keeping an eye out for your trail building days but truth be known…

Thanks John (or is it Wal ;) ) for the heads up. Will keep an eye out for it. A big hats off to you thus far for your work on trail advocacy. Wish I had your determination and drive. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Jill. The very reason you mention is the reason I ask the question (it's either photography or walking) in an attempt to find the best compromise. The camera will mainly be used by the wife on her bush walks. The intent is not to produce…

Hi Dale, I carry my Canon PowerShot Pro1 which is a compact model which fits into a waist pouch but has many features of an DSLR and comes with a pro lens. When combining photography and bushwalking you need to decide what your primary aim is -…

Thank you. And yes Michael, you are a masochist :) ....don't think I've ever seen anyone hiking with a trailer before, but you must be close.

Hi Dale Call me a masochist but I do carry a lot of gear. It’s what I do as a professional photographer, I guess. My hiking gear is a Canon D40 with a 28mm to 135mm zoom, 10mm to 22mm zoom and a 75mm to 300mm zoom. I also carry a backup…

Cameras for the trail

Hi all,Having seen some of the pics on the site here (there are some beauties) and has got me wondering what cameras you use? My wife is keen (but inexperienced) on photography and has a Nikon D90 SLR but that doesn't pack too well :p. What compact digital cameras do you all use or recommend when out on the trail? I've been looking at the Lumix range for the robustness (is that a word?) and the ability to resist water.Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.DaleSee More

Hi Tony, A couple of suggestions for you. 1) a section of the Munda Biddi Trail in Dwellingup (a bit more than an hour from Perth). Specifically from Nanga to the Bidjar Ngoulin camp. It is approx 12 - 13 km's from the Nanga camp ground to…
