1. "Into the Rose Garden" was my English Extension 2 major work for the 2012 HSC. The piece was a short story with various poems within the narrative. Many hours, late-nights, and all-nighters went into the production of the story. Additionally, the experience of working on a large-scale assignment and developing a creative work was a highly useful and exciting venture.

2. The "JD House" by BAK Architects is an example of sustainable architecture with its materials of local wood and concrete, and its subversion within the surrounding environment - as shown by the undisturbed tree which rises through the floor and roof of the house.

3. This is an original photograph of a quiet beach nearby my home-town on an overcast day. The beach remains relatively untouched and holds a certain solitude and beauty unmatched by most other busy beaches.
