Mt Coot-tha is located 7 kilometres west of Brisbane’s City Centre and occupies one of the most beautiful vantage points from which to view an Australian capital city and surrounds. Commanding panoramic views over the city of Brisbane and beyond to Moreton Bay and it’s islands to the East, and the Glasshouse Mountains and the D’Agilar Range to the West.
It is surrounded by the 220 hectare Mt Coot-tha reserve which is an oasis of natural bushland and native wildlife. The Taylor Range of which Mt Coot-tha is a part, forms a backdrop of hills to the city of Brisbane.

This is an unintentional double exposure on my Flexaret TLR, which produced a rather spiffy (in my opinion) montage of the Melbourne CBD.
Scanned from a Velvia 50 exposure and digitally processed.

Here is a view of Stoney Creek in Far North Queensland. My friend Margot and myself went for a short walk up the Weir Track which runs parallel to the creek, and took a few photographs along the way.
From the Wet Tropics Website:
Stoney Creek is a popular swimming spot for locals and visitors. You can swim in the creek near the carpark or climb up the old rocky roadway to some isolated and pristine swimming holes amidst the boulders upstream. The walk narrows to a rough path above the creek valley which levels out and meets the creek at the small concrete weir after a kilometre.

I have also made this into a wallpaper, over at flickr.

The Henry Ross Lookout is on the Kennedy Highway (part of the Savannah Way), which cuts its way up the Macalister Range above Smithfield, a township in the Northern Beaches stretch north of Cairns, to Kuranda at the top of the range.
The Kennedy Highway affords spectacular views of the low lying areas between the range and the ocean, and also takes one through lush rainforest areas.
I took this exposure on a beautiful clear day.

The centre of Brisbane was shrouded in cloud as I headed to work so I hopped off the bus at Victoria Bridge and snapped off a hand-held panorama. As a result there are a few parallax errors but it still gives a good indication of the fog cover.
