Field training officer Flynn Jackman shares some dramatic photos taken on walks around Macquarie Island.

Field filled feels – an FTO's perspective

This island is a special place. It’s a spectacle to look at; whether you’re bobbing in an inflatable boat on the dramatic coastline, walking its jagged shores, or striding atop the ever-changing plateau. In attempting to describe it, my words would only be as accurate as a child’s drawing. A blind child, in a strait jacket, being tickled by Huntsman spiders. I won’t provide an analogy for some of the smells the island has on offer.

So, rather than rambling on about how wonderful this place is, I will share a few photos from some of my outings since arriving here in December.
