Hi, I’m Rhys Vandersyde, and I’ve put together this simple little website to keep you up to date with all the latest from me directly

Below are links to some of the latest articles I’ve written, my social media feeds as well as links to some of my other business projects.

And then, just like that... It's like everything is back to normal. Well, almost. Soon! Quite looking forward to not second guess my movements and not worry about border restrictions. I might even dust off the passport and use some of those frequent flyer points. #sunrise #lakemacquarie #newcastlensw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #canonaustralia #canon #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia

So, funny story... I may or may not have, as it turns out, needlessly spent 3 months in Queensland in order to continue to work around border restrictions. Anyway, I definitely took some interesting photos which I'll share in due course. #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #seeaustralia #travelgram #insydemedia #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

Cool church... Snow somewhere along the New England Highway way back in July when I spent roughly 26 hours in NSW after Townsville to retrieve my car and get back to Queensland a couple of days before they announced that the border would be closed. At some point I need to properly document the last two years working around border closures and spending months on the road. #snow #roadtrip #newengland #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #newsouthwales #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon

After over two months in Queensland, I finally caved and decided to see some of the sights... #naturalbridge #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #travel #roadtrip #insydemedia #travelphotography #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon #travelgram

Just imagine this caption is something witty about perspective... Realistically I just wanted to round out the set with the sunset photo I took the other day. #goldcoast #sunset #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #insydemedia #sunrise_and_sunsets #canonaustralia #canon #travelphotography #travelgram #travel

I suppose there are worse place's to be stuck for a couple of days. Gold Coast skyline as seen from Currumbin Beach. Photo clearly taken before the lockdown. #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #beach #surfersparadise #roadtrip #insydemedia #roadtripaustralia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

The Gold Coast might be known for its stunning beaches and clear blue skies... But it's after the sunsets that the region really comes alive. #sunset #dusk #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #goldcoasthwy #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon

Last one from Townsville... But since going home really isn't an option if I'd like to continue to work... The Queensland adventure continues... So where too next? #townsvilleshines #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #townsville #thestrand #palmtrees #insydemedia #canonaustralia #canon #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #travelgram #travelphotography #travel #ironicnomadichashtag

Sunrises are great, but sunsets are always more conveniently scheduled. Another Townsville sunset as seen from the top of Castle Hill. #townsville #townsvilleshines #sunset #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #australia #insydemedia #travelgram #roadtripaustralia #roadtrip #travelphotography #travel #canonaustralia #canon #sunrise_and_sunsets

If I didn't know better, I would have thought I stumbled upon Jurassic Park. A stormy day in the World Heritage Listed Wet Tropics. #rainforest #wettropics #thisisqueensland #townsvilleshines #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #australia #queensland #canonaustralia #canon

Looks like I'll be in Queensland for a little while yet... Plenty more opportunities for tropical sunrises then. #sunrise #townsvilleshines #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #sunrise_and_sunsets #townsville #queensland #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #insydemedia

Wallaman Falls are impressive from the top... But it's not until you hike down to the bottom that you can really appreciate the scale of how tall these falls really are. #wallamanfalls #waterfall #townsvilleshines #seeaustralia #thisisqueensland #townsville #hikingadventures #canonaustralia #canon #australia #insydemedia

Magnetic Island at sunset... One day I'll actually get over there. In the meantime winter in North Queensland is alright. #magneticisland #sunset #townsvilleshines #townsville #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

That said I took a couple anyway... Wallaman Falls in the World Heritage Listed Wet Tropics. The tallest single drop waterfall in Australia. #wallamanfalls #waterfall #tropicalnorthqueensland #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #australia #townsvilleshines #townsville #canonaustralia #canon #travelphotography #travelgram #travel
