As part of an Australian national cultural project, professional photographer Greg Power, his wife Rachel and daughters Jasmine and Jemma have embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip to capture Australian life in the early 21st century through photography.The trip will see the Powers visit all five states and travel more than 17,000 km around the scenic perimeter and vast interior of Australia.
To help the Powers capture individual ownership of their journey, Canon, the title sponsor, will provide each family member with a PowerShot camera to get their unique perspectives on the drive.

The Powers will regularly document the road trip through their photography at www.greataussieroadtrip.com.au. The site features the family’s candid and spontaneous PowerShot images from their journey, including antics from the kids in the car, camping in the bush and scenery of Australian wildlife.
The Power family left Canberra for the PowerShot Great Aussie Road Trip on June 4. The four-month photo road trip will take them up the east coast of New South Wales to Sydney and Narrabri, then on to Queensland, hitting popular destinations such as Hervey Bay and Cairns, and remote towns such as Normanton and Burketown.
Northern Territory will be next with stops in Kakadu National Park and Darwin, then on to Gregory National Park and into the Western Australia leg of the journey, which will include towns such as Derby, Broome, Kalbarri and Perth.
After making a turn east from Albany, the Powers will arrive at Esperence and Eucla, before travelling through Southern Australia and Victoria. This will feature stops in Streaky Bay, Mungo National Park, Wilson’s Promontory and Mallacoota, before finally pulling back into Canberra in October.
Through their travels and photography, the Powers will look to find those lesser-known locations throughout Australia, hoping to inspire other families to take to the road for similar holidays and discover the remote corners of our vast continent.
As the Powers make their way around Australia, Canon will be contributing its part to the environment by offsetting carbon emissions and planting trees equivalent to the kilometres travelled.
