Here is a few more photos from around the place. Enjoy.

A Panorama of Townsville and Suburbs from Mt Stuart and looking out to Magnetic (Maggie) Island.



Some farm land about 50km south of Townsville.


A fern in Finch Hatton Gorge NP.


More Leaves. These pics are from Finch Hatton Gorge near Mackay. I have taken these from the underside of the leaves looking thru them towards the sunlight whch really brings out their details. Quite amazing.




Some leaves. I love these shots with the sun shining thru the leaves. Quite an awesome sight.


A leaf with a spider and the sun on the other side. This is from in the Finch Hatton Gorge NP near Mackay.


A beach shot near to Bowen about 200km south of Townsville. This is the town that a new movie is being shot at with Nicole Kidman. Didnt see her tho!


A big bird about 1.2m tall. It was dancing around flapping its wings to keep it light on its feet and chasing little tiny fish. It looked awesome, so graceful and yet so fast and accurate. I couldnt get my camera focused fast enough so I didnt get a real clear shot unfortunately.


Some forest and swamplands near Cocoa Creek south of Townsville.


A duotone of a bird. I dunno the name of this bird but it is white. Lives in the shallow swamplands and eats little fish and bugs and things out of the mud ... and somehow has managed to avoid being eaten so far by the crocodiles!


A colour of the same photo.


The marina in Townsville. A 180+ degree panorama series with i think 8 photos linked up.


The Townsville marina from the East looking to Castle Hill. So pretty early in the morning. A series of 3 photos and about 100 degrees view.

Well People, since I last posted ... ages ago ... I have changed a few things. One, I have a new lens for my camera; a 50-500mm tele lens and the other thing is I live on the other side of the country! I moved recently to Townsville in Queensland, so soon you will see some different kinds of photos hopefully. Happy browsing.


An FA-18 Hornet fly over at the Adelaide Clipsal 500. The photo isnt quite clear but there is a vortex over the top of the plane caused from air pressure differences making the moisture in the air condense into a cloud. Probably doing 1000km/h+ and banking straight up causing around 10-12x normal gravity for the pilot. Imagine weighing that much! 650+kg! Nice!




This is the moon ...




Some sort of Jesus bird that walks on water. haha. Not sure what this bird is called. If someone wants to buy me a bird book then i will tell you!




This is a dragonfly ...




This is a butterfly ...




Alligator creek, south of Townsville, QLD. A panorama which is new for me. if you look closely you might see where i have attempted to join 3 photos together to get this pic! It is a lot of work. More practice is required.
