Bare Island, on Botany Bay = history.

Belmore Falls – Southern Highlands, NSW.
The impressive Belmore Falls, in good flow. These falls are in Morton National Park, very near the town of Robertson in the Southern Highlands region of NSW.
The Belmore Falls is a plunge waterfall with three drops on the Barrengarry Creek in the Southern Highlands and Illawarra regions of New South Wales.
Austinmer, NSW.
The view from Mount Ngungun – the Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland.
The 360 degree view afforded from the top of Mt. Ngungun is fascinating – the 2.8 km (return) hike up is well worth including in your plans.
These are some of the volcanic plugs (remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 25-27 million years ago), known as the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. These two are, from nearest to furthest, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah, as seen from Mount Ngungun.
Cheers.
Kangaroo parking sign…
On a recent trip I was quite relieved when I finally sighted this sign – I was beginning to wonder where I was going to rest/leave my trusty kangaroo-steed, having been travelling for several hours
😉
Perhaps my recollections are failing me, but I thought these were much more abundant when I was in school – perhaps everyone is using roo-ber?
Full Moon Rising – Bulcock Beach, Caloundra.
Peaceful dusk – Golden Beach, Caloundra.
The Caloundra area and Pumicestone Passage on the Sunshine Coast offer numerous peaceful scenes. This particular one was enjoyed with a picnic dinner.

Fire in the sky – the Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland.
A fiery sunset over volcanic plugs (remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 25-27 million years ago), known as the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. At just over an hour from Brisbane, these hills are well worth a visit.
This is a 12 image panorama stack.
Weather – an East Coast Low and a low pressure trough approaching Australia’s eastern seaboard.
A very powerful weather system is impacting a considerable portion of the east coast of Australia this weekend. Here is the Bureau of Meteorology link and the ABC link.
Here are three images: the first is an aerial image (drone) at Scarborough showing clear weather conditions before the system began to directly impact this section of the Illawarra Coast, and the remaining two images from Bald Hill show the first wave of weather making its way to the coast.

Here’s to hoping the farmers and graziers get good rain where needed.

Onwards…
More from Otago, plus some from West Coast. As is the case with all holidays, the end comes too soon.
This last post includes images from Blue Pools on the Makarora River, the Whataroa River, Fox Glacier, and Lake Hawea (near The Neck).
Dusk settles over the Southern Alps at Makarora.
The stunning, and frigid, Blue Pools.
Happy hour 🙂
Cold beers and conversation in and alongside the Makarora River.
A Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), in the honeyeater family, foraging on New Zealand flax (Phormium sp.).
Dawn over the Southern Alps at Fox Glacier – includes Aoraki / Mount Cook.
I hope you enjoyed this and the previous posts of my images from a fantastic holiday in New Zealand.
Cheers 🙂
