The Gold Coast hinterland is filled with great little bits of hidden treasure. Sunday had my girlfriend and I out at Canungra for lunch. After we had eaten we had some time to spare so, instead of going straight home, we decided to drive around a little to explore. I had my camera on me of course! We came across this vineyard and pulled over for a while to take in the scenery and wildlife. The name of this place is O’reilly’s: Canungra Valley Vineyards and despite it being a little overcast, it was a stunning setting.
Hope you enjoy it!
I was a little disappointed to have missed the best light of the morning due to not wanting to get out a warm bed on a cool morning, but I made the best of what was on offer when I arrived. I’m moving back across to the west with my girlfriend, Emily, soon and want to make the most of the few weeks that I have left here on the Gold Coast.
I shot this six image panorama yesterday morning down at Main Beach, an area I haven’t really explored too much before. In the past I have mostly shot from further down the coast looking back up towards where this photo was taken. I thought it was time for a change.
There is a possibilty of a photo trip down to Dangar Falls and the Border Ranges coming up shortly. I’ll keep you posted.
A week or two back, Darren Tierney and I hiked down to the base of Purlingbrook Falls. It had been quite wet the few days before hand so we knew there would be a lot of water running.
It was near impossible to take photos down there, with the light being a bit too bright, and there was insane amounts of water from the falls spraying our cameras.
Anyway, here are a couple of my photos from the day focusing on the lower half of the water fall.
This is an old photo from my archives that I have just found and processed. I’m not sure why I passed over it the first time around because I really like it. Very little has been done to this image in post as it was pretty much perfect straight from the camera.
