Forest view on the hike up Mount Ngungun – the Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland.

Posted on February 22, 2018 by Andrew McInnes Photography

This forest scene caught my attention on the hike up Mt. Ngungun, one of the glasshouse mountains on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.
The 2.8 km round-trip hike is well worth including in your plans.

A quick (2 nights) visit to Fraser Island, Queensland.

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Andrew McInnes Photography

“Fraser” is the largest sand island in the world, is fascinating in its diversity, and absolutely stunning. I recently spent two nights on family vacation on the splendid Fraser Island, Queensland. As it was a family holiday, these were opportunistic photos and as such do not represent the vast diversity of habitats and scenery.

This is Lake McKenzie – a beautiful spot to have a freshwater swim.
