FILM MAKERS
Tim Caraco is a well-known Gold Coast photographer and film maker who has travelled extensively capturing images and video footage on various road trips often in remote and distant regions for projects around the world. Tim has been able to combine his love of photography and travel to capture diverse landscape imagery and videography of exceptional terrains especially with his work in the vintage motorcycle world.
Tim’s ability to capture his experiences through a lens is truly special, with a natural talent that cannot be learned overnight. Tim’s journey started in 2006 where he attended AICA Art College and he has been working professionally in the industry since 2007 but his passion for photography and videography can be traced all the way back to his early teenage years filming skateboarding.
He is a regular contributor to LA based Dice Magazine and locally has held two exhibitions of his work and produced a hard cover book called “Freedom Machines”. His specialty and passion lies in videography as it creatively enables the story to be told through Visual imagery and sound.
Tim Caraco passed away in 2018 in a tragic motorcycle accident.
SUMMARY
In September 2016 Tim “Timmo” Caraco and some friends traveled from the Gold Coast of Australia to Tasmania on 50 year old choppers, in a failed attempt to find the most picturesque roads in Australia. The weather was menacing and it was soon realized quite quickly it was not in the comfort and protection of the Mainland. They were greeted with piercing torrential rain, roaring winds and even snow.
Fast Forward to February 2017 and with some better planning the 2nd trip to Tasmania turns into an epic success. Matty South and Timo traveled from the top of Tasmania to the most western road leading into the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, one of the last untouched regions on Earth. From there they rode to the most southern beach in Tasmania, all the while witnessing the beauty of this great land from the Aurora Australis, to the Rugged mining mountains of Zheehan, and up the eastern coast of Tasmania.
There’s nothing like traveling this untouched land on a vintage Harley Davidson with your swag tied to the back. There’s a certain freedom in setting up camp wherever you decide to pull over for the day. 1500km’s on these old motorcycles, Tasmania is Australia’s best kept secret and there’s only 1 true way to experience it… on an old chopper!

After watching and hearing about the adventures ( genuine adventures.. no back up … no chase van … just a satellite phone and a whole lotta of … luck ? ) of Colorado’s very Paul Stewart and his ten foot long hand built chopper … daring to cross war torn areas and places of conflict along the way
.. well … suffice it to say … banal trips ( sorry these don’t qualify as adventures ) on banal bikes is nothing more than a bunch of hipster wanna be ‘ oh I wish I was so cool ‘ BS …. plain and simple .
So to this bunch of snowflakes … I raise the internationally recognized middle finger of disdain .
Wimps !
Oh … and by the way … Mr Stewart’s chopper .. all ten feet of it .. is his daily rider as well ( run across him more than once in the Longmont / Boulder area ) as well . Something I rather doubt these antipode splinkies would even be capable of doing
