Yep, we've been out working again :)

One of the many small 'waterfalls' on Mt Tamborine :)
Actually taken with a very old Canon G2 - I'm not scared to balance it on a rock in the middle of a creek and hit the shutter - has been doused a couple of times :(

These are great as always Rel.
That dragonfly? is a fantastic colour. I like how you get them to pose so well for you.

Rel,

two very beautiful photos you have here. Really like the waterfall and the nice rocks surrounded by the green vegetation.

Dragonfly is awesome, vibrant colours, great background, tack sharp. Looks like a tough life for a dragonfly, tough plant to eat :wink: :wink:

thanks for sharing,

André

Two lovely images. I am seeing a lot of great macro on the site at the moment... more lenses to lust after!

Ant.

Thanks guys :)

Sorry Geoff - we are doing some work for the GCCC, we've been surveying one of their conservation areas that runs from Eagle Heights all the way down the mountain to Wongawallon Road .. this little creek is called Running Creek, and there are a series of falls all the way through the system - this is one of the small sets of 'rapids'. It was a very very long day - we spent the day doing macroinvertebrate surveys along the creek system, and then all night until midnight doing microbat surveys ... we'll be up again so definitely meet up for a coffee ..

actually, if I ever get my finger out (and actually have some time off), we'll organise a minimeet - but god knows when :(

Hugs
Rel

Sound like fun and somewhere the public can't access? I am looking forward to that coffee :)
