Lorraine and Neil Smith have been on many photography trips to Africa. Join us as they discuss their amazing wildlife photography and African experiences.

Lorraine and Neil Smith's first African trip in 2013 was just the beginning. Now it's a yearly event and they are hooked! They love experiencing the amazing wildlife and seeing their interactions - often funny, sometimes scary, occasionally gruesome, but always interesting.

Boronggook Drysdale Library is lucky enough to be exhibiting some of their best photos on our exhibition wall in May. Come along and admire the photos and then listen to some of the stories behind the lens.
