Local photographer and historian Craig Johnson is revelling in his new home in Waterford Rise.

Craig moved from the congestion of Point Cook to Warragul in mid 2017  and hasn’t looked back.

“As soon as we saw Waterford Rise we thought it was fantastic. It fits beautifully between the two towns  and is beautifully laid out with nice parks, and the lifestyle here is fantastic,” Craig said.

Many of you will have seen him walking his two cattle dogs around the parks since his arrival.

Craig has jumped into the local lifestyle with alacrity and is a freelance photographer for the Warragul News and specialises in landscapes. More recently his work has encompassed portraits of people and families in and around Warragul.

Perhaps his most high-profile work is contributing historic photos to the Drouin, Warragul and Surrounds Facebook page as well as his FURcasters page that features photos of his beloved dogs.
