 Mount Cooroora in the Noosa Hinterland before the dust arrived  The view towards Mount Cooroora by mid afternoon About a decade ago I travelled to the desert regions of the New South Wales and Queensland border area to the west and north of Hungerford on a scientific research trip. I’ve always wanted to go back and take another look at that vast country. However today it came to visit us on the coast of Queensland as dust from the interior travelled on westerly winds and filled the air with a strange hue. Continue reading “Dust storms bring the desert to the coast” »  Finding peace of mind in Bali Why do we travel? I seem to ask myself that question during almost every journey I take. And it always appears unannounced in my head at about the same time. It’s when I’m starting to get that settled and calm feeling – kind of like getting in the groove. The travel groove. Everything appears easier, as if you have stopped resisting the cultural differences and just start to float in the stream, that is now your new temporary home. Continue reading “Rediscovering that groove” »  Woodford Folk Festival. Image G Hardwick. It has taken some time but I’ve finally started adding some image galleries under my events and wildlife photography portfolios. The first gallery, filed under events photography is from the Woodford Folk Festival where I was commissioned to take images of the festival site. A great event to attend, although over the years the feel has changed as the festival has grown in size. For the music lover, it’s an event not to be missed. Camp for the week and lose yourself in the moment. Continue reading “Woodford Folk Festival” » Tags

2 comments - dont be afraid to be the next Before and after cyclone Hamish passed by Noosa (G.Hardwick).Apologies for the quality of the images -- it's the comparison I was after. After narrowly missing the wrath of Tropical Cyclone Hamish, Noosa’s main beach still suffered a significant loss of one of its least sustainable resources — sand. Noosa main beach, due to the hard rock groins and other nearby development, such as Hastings Street, usually pumps sand from the nearby estuary to keep the beach sandy for visitors. However, by the time Hamish was close to Noosa (just off the tip of Fraser Island) it had reduced to only a category 2 cyclone. I wouldn’t like to see the results of a category 5 hitting square on the Noosa coastline. Somehow, I think some very expensive properties would lose some real estate.

2 comments - dont be afraid to be the nextFiji wasn’t high on my ‘must visit’ list. However, a wedding of a family member sent me there. I’m glad I went. A short visit but filled with memories.  Great places to stay can be found all around Fiji  Aftermath of an afternoon storm left the air still and humid I love hiking and I love camping. Gives me an excuse to take some photographs. These images are from both the Conondale and Cooloola National Parks in Queensland, Australia  Say no more right?  The Cooloola Sandpatch Continue reading “Queensland: Images of National Parks” » Tags
