The Place That Changed My Perspective

Three Weeks, One Lens: The GoPro Documentary on Nowra, Australia

Can a complex, emotional documentary about appreciation, stewardship, and the Australian spirit really be shot entirely on a GoPro HERO12? We set out to prove that you don't need a massive film crew or an expensive cinema camera to tell a profound story.

From October 2nd to the 27th, I traveled to Nowra, New South Wales, capturing the raw, reflective beauty of its coastal towns, its stunning beaches, and the incredible complexity of life at the local zoo. This is a retrospective on that time.

This film is a heartfelt look at the animal kingdom—both the wild, iconic natives and the species under human care. It is an appreciative tribute to the zookeepers, the quiet stewards whose dedication embodies the spirit of conservation and responsibility.

More than just a travelogue, this is a film about finding perspective in the world’s most beautiful places and reflecting on the things that truly matter. It is my humble love letter to Nowra, NSW, a place that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

In this Documentary, We Explore:

The simple magic of a reflective journey captured on a single action camera.

The unique roles of zookeepers as guardians and educators.

Why the South Coast of NSW, Australia, is more than just a tourist destination.

The crucial conversation around native and foreign animal care.
