In stores from Shoalhaven Heads Newsagency all the way down to the Burrill Lake Newsagency, the 2022 calendar is receiving high praise for not only its range of beautiful vista images, but the vibrant colours which stem from such diverse landscapes.

And the 14 images certainly capture our region in all its stunning grandeur.

"I especially like water shots, being a surfer myself, but next year's calendar has an interesting photograph of Ulladulla Lighthouse," Mr Davey said.

"And one of Kangaroo Valley, Drawing Room Rocks west of Berry, and a rarely photographed set of falls on Wilson's Walk at 'The Grotto' in North Nowra."

Wilson Falls is right near the second tee at the Nowra Golf Course.

"It's one of Nowra's hidden gems," Mr Davey said.

"Very few people know about the falls.

"I have been living in Nowra for years and never once have I heard anyone mention them.

"So it was great to finally capture them with my camera."

In 2014, Michael rode a pushbike around Australia to raise money for children suffering cancer, and published a photographic book about his ride, as well as a written story.

"I never saw any one place in the entire country which was more beautiful than the Shoalhaven," he said.

"And I think I'm qualified to make that judgement having ridden 14,000 kilometres around our island home with my camera and taken thousands of photographs.

"We are so blessed to live in a magnificent region such as the Shoalhaven."

Of course, there is also a photograph of Hyams Beach in the 2022 calendar, too.

"I saw some white beaches as I travelled the country on my bike, which included Esperance in Western Australia where the sand was incredibly white," he said.

"But Hyams Beach is that little bit whiter. In summer when the sun is directly overhead, it's like walking on snow. You definitely have to wear sunglasses."

The calendar also features a photo of Ulladulla Lighthouse, erected on Warden Head in 1889, having been moved from Ulladulla Harbour.

"The steel construction sits on a beautiful headland where one can see black cockatoos in the nearby bushland, and on the headland itself is the perfect place to spot whales as they migrate north," Mr Davey said.

"So, if you're looking for a great place to view some of the world's most graceful creatures, Humpback Whales, Ulladulla Lighthouse is the perfect spot. Just make sure you take a camera."

Michael Davey's 2022 Shoalhaven calendar is available online at www.jmichaeldavey.com.au and at leading outlets across our region, including both Sturgiss Newsagency and Dymocks in Nowra.
