24 July to 26 July 2017, Lamington National Park, Queensland

The second day was something of a rest day because we’d found Dave’s Creek Track more arduous than expected, so we went for a drive to Natural Bridge. This image combines multiple exposures to enhance shadow detail, which you appreciate more if you click on the image to see it larger.

A huge log lying in the creek below the natural bridge.

Back in the carpark, this bush turkey was eagerly patrolling in vain expectation of a handout.
.
Long exposure after sunset on the way back.

The next day, five of us elected to undertake the 17.5 kilometre Coomera Circuit. This was to be the highlight of the trip. This is a section of the Coomera Falls.
.
Not sure of the name of this waterfall.

Back Alcheringa, another view from the balcony. I actually took this to demonstrate panorama processing but it also serves as an illustration of the magnificence in front of you that you may not think to photograph.
.
The next day, returning to the airport, we had some extra time so took a side route and were fortunate enough to see these paragliders just launched at a steep dropoff beside the road in North Tamborine.
.
Not many or even no posts for a month or so. I’m off to Tasmania tomorrow and will probably not have internet access most of the time.
