My trips this year are in Australia. At the time of writing, I have just come back from Binna Burra (Lamington National Park, Queensland) and in a few days will head off to Tasmania where I will walk the Overland Track in winter and undertake a “Wineglass Bay Sail Walk” in a 70 foot ketch.

I visited Binna Burra in Lamington National Park with members of the Canberra Photographic Society, seven of us in total. This is an upland temperate rainforest area. We stayed in self-contained accommodation with wonderful views, undertook several walks of up to 17.5 kilometres and journeyed by car to Natural Bridge in Springbrook National Park.

What a wonderful experience you have had, and are going to have. I wonder of your finance part. I also wonder of the “self contained” place with wonderful views. Can I see a pic of that, as I can’t imagine it.

Binna Burra and Tasmania are not as expensive as overseas travel though I’ve been overspending and will have to wind back. Here’s a link for Alcheringa: http://www.alcheringa-lamington.com.au/

Thank you! I did but didn’t have enough time to respond and the most of the time in Tasmania (especially when walking or on the yacht) had no internet access. Posts soon, though.

Hi Murray, I am still loving the photos, and cannot keep up! But I especially love the Tasmanian ones. I have set up a photo of yours, a pandanni, to share in Insta and Fb on June 9. Tasmania Stories. with an @ in front of it, or a dot com after it, I suppose…. I always include credit to you of course and a link to this page. Please let me know if there is a problem. You know me. I’m in it for luuurve alone : )

By all means! I’m never going to make any money out of photography either.
