Photowalk: Wonga wetlands with Ben Eyles

Join photographer Ben Eyles for a guided photography walk through the beautiful Wonga Wetlands and explore one of Albury's most significant natural environments through your camera lens.

Whether you're an experienced photographer or simply enjoy taking photos with your phone, this relaxed morning walk invites participants to slow down, observe closely, and capture the unique textures, colours, wildlife and changing light of the wetlands. Ben will share practical tips on composition, light, observation and visual storytelling while encouraging participants to develop their own creative approach to photographing nature.

Bring your camera or smartphone, comfortable walking shoes and a sense of curiosity.
