🌅✨ Sunsets and Barge Landings at Kingfisher Bay Jetty ✨🌅

Today's exploration brings us to the picturesque Kingfisher Bay Jetty, a perfect spot to witness the natural beauty of K'gari (Fraser Island).

Kingfisher Bay Jetty is part of the renowned Kingfisher Bay Resort and offers stunning views over the Great Sandy Strait. This jetty is an ideal place to catch a breathtaking sunset, with the sun dipping below the horizon and casting a golden glow over the water. The tranquil setting provides a peaceful retreat for visitors and is a fantastic spot for photography.

The jetty is also a key point for barge landings, making it one of the main entry points to the island. Watching the barges arrive and depart is a unique experience, showcasing the seamless blend of natural beauty and human activity on K'gari. Additionally, the jetty is a hub for various water activities, including fishing, boating, and kayaking.

Stay tuned for more enchanting stories and views from K'gari as we continue our journey! 🌊🌴🌞

"Lady Aurora in Red" (Limited Edition)
Around 9:30pm on the 11th of May, I saw the forecast of a level G4 geomagnetic storm, that Aurora would possibly be visible as far as North Queensland. So I decided to checkout my favourite spot at Gatakers Bay. After all those rain we had in the last few nights, Mother Nature gave us this one night; clear skies, calm wind and high tide. What more could we ask for. It was a perfect serenity for stargazing but didn't see any beams of colours. However after finding a beautiful perspective of the Milky Way Galaxy which I love to photograph, I thought I would create a stitched panorama with some light painting on the trees. To my greatest surprise the elusive Lady Aurora splashed some pinkish red hues over the horizon not visible to the naked eye. With some shooting stars too! and the Planet Venus reflecting on the water 🙂 I truly am over the moon to have the privilege of creating this masterpiece in our backyard. My very first Aurora 😍 FB is inundated with colourful images all over Australia. Such a magical moment to see ❤ I was supposed to be in Tasmania but the trip was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. But this night was absolutely epic. Happy me 😀
Can't wait to display this in the studio 🥰

Dingoes are gorgeous ... from a distance...
We hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend.

Cute dingo photo the boys took on their last trip over to the island. This was taken some distance away from the safety of their vehicle and a good camera with zoom. Our last few visits over we have seen a massive increase in numbers so we urge all people to enjoy from a distance.

Killer whales...WOW....worth the visit to go whale watching ...what an amazing sight.

Today we have confirmed the Fraser Island killer whale sighting from earlier in the week. Footage received shows between 9 and 11 individual killer whales, including 2 calves. The pod was sighted off the ocean side of the island with the animals thought be travelling south. A preliminary review of the imagery suggests that the pod is known to Killer Whales Australia.
