Mudjimba

Thar she blows! Mudjimba Island whale likeness.

Best Wall in Maroochydore

The Tidal Wall sculpture behind the Plaza at Maroochydore. Twenty-three years later and definitely still the best wall on the Sunshine Coast.

Mooloolah River National Park

A trip up the Mooloolah River from Mooloolaba Harbour brings you through the heart of the Mooloolah River National Park. A piece of almost unspoilt paradise in the middle of the bustling Sunshine Coast.

Mooloolaba Views

More beach views over Mooloolaba from Alexandra Headland.

Beach Views

A holiday break back to the coast and some beach views.

Maroochy Golf

A visit to the back nine on the Maroochy River Golf Course with friends was a great way to wind up the teaching for another year.

Serenity Falls Buderim

The peaceful sounds of a waterfall in the bush.

Buderim Falls

A short walk before work took me to the Serenity Falls at Buderim. A stunning piece of paradise in the middle of the Sunshine Coast.

Distant Whale

Here in the west Pacific Ocean just off Mooloolaba we are lucky to see Humpback Whales migrate north and then south again after the calving season each year. If you look really, really closely you will just make out one whale taking a breath and diving again (just right of centre and very near the horizon). I clearly need a high zoom lens to catch these creatures from a distance of 300m.

Gheerulla Falls

Gheerulla Falls behind Mapleton is definitely one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's hidden gems.

Gerrards Lookout

A beautiful green morning on the Hinterland Excarpment at Gerrards Lookout.

Grey Kawana Beaches

Grey skies over the Kawana Beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

Mudjimba Eclipse

The longest partial Lunar Eclipse in my lifetime, as seen over Mudjimba Island on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Australia. The ideal shot of the moon rising over the sea was not possible due to the distant cloud on the horizon, but once it popped above the clouds it was still a sight to behold.

Humpback Whales

A shaky video of two humpback whales off the coast of Coolum just minding their own business. Apologies for the bumpy video, I need to get a gimbal stabilised camera to reduce the shake and rolling.

Goodbye Wave

I was too slow with the camera on this shot and missed the iconic tail wave goodbye as the whale moved on.

Whale Watching

Took the boat out for a spin and gain some hours. An unexpected treat was the whales that literally stopped me in my tracks. Switched the engine off and quietly watched this whale till it disappeared.

Forever Blue

The endless blue of the Pacific Ocean as it disappears into the distance over the horizon east of the Sunshine Coast.

Sunny Coast View

A view of the Sunshine Coast with Glasshosue Mountains from the Pacific Ocean, just offshore.

Alex Heads View

The spectacular summer view from Alexandra Headland at Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast.

Blue Cotton Tree

The blue lamps, blue water and blue sky at Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast.
