On the road again

[blacknstormy]

Yep - been running around Queensland again Was able to harass Damian enough to actually stop for a couple of shots of Wolfang Peak, between Clermont and Moranbah in Qld. Wasn't 'allowed' to get out the Nikon, so used the old G2 out the window. The sunset was giving a fantastic glow to the peak, and also to the fenceposts at the station gate. I'll have to go back up when we have more time, and no deadlines, so that I can actually play and get some better shots But they'll do for now

Coming home

Thanks everyone - if you ever get the chance to get out along the Peak Downs Highway, it is a good spot to get shots - especially at sunrise/sunset. There are another set of volcanic plugs called Gemini Peaks - twin plugs going in opposite directions - we didn't have time to stop, but next time, definitely !!

Thanks Pa - around 3 hours west of Mackay ..
this was taken from the web:

"The area between Clermont in the west, Dysart in the east, and Moranbah in the north is home to an amazing set of volcanic plugs called the Peak Downs. These are the remains of volcanic activity from millenia past. They number perhaps as many as 20 tops, if you count some of the lesser peaks, and vary in shape from the conical (like Wolfang, 1877 feet, or 527 metres) to almost totally flat topped, like Lord's Table Mountain to the unique, like the twins of The Gemini Mountains, Castor and Pollux, also on The Peak Downs Highway, a few kilometres north of Wolfang. "

Lord's Table Mountain is the one you can see in the background of the station gate shot - really shows why they are called 'tabletop'

Wolfang is about 3/4 hour from Clermont heading toward the coast.

Well worth the drive
