South Stradbroke Island Conservation Park

Shooting astro at South Stradbroke Island over the weekend and the weather conditions couldn't have been better for capturing the Milky Way. I got this shot early in the evening as the Milky Way rose above the ocean and I thought I'd give the image some scale by standing on the small sand dune with a light.

The pool was nice and not to far to walk to the beach.

3/5(1 review)

Enjoy the adrenaline rush as you slide down some of the coolest waterslides and rides in Australia.

WhiteWater World
The Spit at Southport on the Gold Coast is a permanent sand spit dividing the Southport Broadwater from the Pacific Ocean. The Sand pumping jetty is a popular place for photographers, surfers, swimmers, fishermen and dog walkers. This Northern end of Main Beach is where you'll also see the fishing trawlers departing and returning with their catch. Why not also take a walk through the natural 3.5km bushland track or pop into SeaWorld for a day of adventure . Make sure you are at your destination prior to the time you want to shoot the photograph so you can set the shot. #goldenhour
