2024 Kevin Hoffman Walk Calendar

Theme: Flora & Fauna of the Walk

Our 2024 calendar celebrated the plant life and wildlife that call the Kevin Hoffman Walk home. The images featured were selected from our 2023 photo competition, which invited amateur photographers to capture the diversity of flora and fauna found along the Walk — from striking blooms to curious birds and insects.

We were thrilled with the response, both in the number of entries and the quality of the photographs submitted. It was wonderful to welcome a mix of returning entrants and first-timers, showing the continued growth and appeal of the competition within our community.

Cover Image

The title of Cover Photo for 2024 was awarded to Erin Hearns — an impressive achievement that marked her third time receiving this honour. We sincerely thank Erin for her ongoing support of the Walk and our annual competition.

Featured Photographers

Congratulations to the following photographers whose work was featured in the 2024 calendar:

Julie-Ann Ricci – Second Place
Merryn Pike – Third Place
Ann Ryan
Gail Sheridan
Hannah McSeveny (Under 18 entrant)
Jessica Gurry

A special shout-out to Hannah McSeveny, one of our younger entrants. It’s wonderful to see younger people developing an interest in photography and engaging with the natural world — something we warmly encourage in future competitions.

We’d also like to acknowledge Julie-Ann Ricci, a first-time entrant who had not one, but three of her images featured across the 2024 calendar — an outstanding result!
Each featured photographer received a complimentary copy of the calendar as a thank you.

Prize Acknowledgements

This year, the committee chose to award prizes to our first three placegetters: Erin, Julie and Merryn.
We are grateful to Roraima Nursery, Lara Sporting Club, and Anna’s Café for their generous support in providing gift vouchers to acknowledge these achievements.

Supporting the Walk

Calendar sales are our major annual fundraiser, with all proceeds going toward the care and upkeep of the Walk — including employing our part-time gardener. The 2024 calendar sold out before the end of the year, and we thank everyone who supported us through a purchase.

While the 2024 calendar is no longer available, we hope these images continue to inspire an appreciation for the natural beauty of Australian native gardens — and the joy of spotting flora and fauna close to home.
