Traveling North - Further from Sydney

[HansE]

Heading towards Brisbane on our way to Cooktown. Queen Mary Falls



And a lookout a bit further up the road.

Very nice Hans. I've been to both spots a number of times. Did you walk the circuit at the falls?

[HansE]

No I would have liked to but we were running a bit late and have put it on to do a return visit. A visitor there was telling me he heard the Lyre birds go through their mimmic repertoirs while doing the circuit not long ago. He also said there was a bit more water then what he normally sees.

Yes a bit more than usual, but this is the best I’ve seen: https://alanwigginton.zenfolio.com/p254913142/e3e58558d
Couldn’t find a way to make that a link.

That looks like flooding and a fair bit of soil being washed away. Good for pictures though.

Your falls are better than my falls Hans. Love the sky in #2.

[HansE]

At the risk of sounding a bit pompous I have been spoiled with Iguazu, Victoria and Niagera. But this was a nice view.

[HansE]

Had to cut the highlights a fair bit and apply some haze filter to get the sky to show. A few different states of cloud.

I assume that these are old images with lockdowns and all that happening.
Neat waterfall. Better than anything I can think of in Victoria.
Almost every time I see a waterfall shot I think it is one of the few situations where a drone would be great for still photography (if allowed at the site of course). Not being constrained by having to be at the designated viewing area of being somewhere safe and accessible would imo be fantastic for waterfall photography.

No traveling North and booked in at Cooktown as our most northern point.

I looked at a drone and may weaken but when I read to restrictions and the fact you have to get permission to fly them in the NP'sput me off. They are frightened that you bring down their helicopters. Wonder how many they have?.
