Why Autumn on the Sapphire Coast?

March is the coast at its best: stable weather, warm but comfortable temps, and fewer crowds. Ocean warmth lingers but without holiday traffic. The Milky Way also returns — rising out of the sea over Glasshouse & Horse Head Rocks. We’ll combine sunrise/sunset seascapes with optional astro, plus daily editing labs.

Accommodation: Self-book at The Anchorage Bermagui. All participants will be staying here for convenience.

Testimonials

★★★★★

"Dylan has put a lot of time and effort into this workshop. He is easy to understand and ensures each student gets the time they need to grasp the concepts. I really appreciated that there were only four students—Dylan spent plenty of time with each of us. The follow-up eBooks he created and published are a terrific way to reinforce the weekend and make sure the new techniques and knowledge really stick. Thank you Dylan—I really enjoyed the weekend and can’t wait to see what’s next."
