The glory on Kosci was taken as we walked up to the summit for sunset. We had walked from Charlotte Pass, and with the mist thickening we thought that it would be a whiteout. However, the mist rose, we saw a glory, a circular rainbow seen only at altitude. The picture was taken as we walked to the summit for lovely sunset. While I could only see my shadow, a Brocken spectre, my wife could only see hers!

A steep tracked walk from Pine Valley Hut will bring you to The Labyrinth, a plateau with an array of lakes, tarns and mountains. Possibly the jewel is Lake Elysia with its backdrop of many amazing peaks - Mount Geryon, The Acropolis, Walled Mountain and Mount Eros. Lake Elysia reflects Mount Geryon, inviting the walker to attempt to climb its craggy peaks.

The photo was taken in Macquarie Pass National Park, just west of Albion Park in New South Wales. After a wonderful morning walk with many waterfalls and waterholes, we came across this. I love the light in this shot.

Waterfall GullyBrian Eglinton
I swam into Bell Creek Canyon with the express purpose of taking photos, only to find that I had wrapped the camera in a couple of leaky drybags. Thankfully the camera was fine, but the lens was misty and the cloths were all wet. Nevertheless, as long as the sun was out of shot, I was able to get a few snaps. Recent rain meant that there was foam floating in the creek, and a long exposure attenuated the slow patterns that flowed.

Each March or April there's a Gold Coast reunion trip to catch up with childhood friends for a few days. As the only bushwalker, I always try to explore local walking tracks accessible by public transport and/or on foot. It's surprising what you can find in an area heavily impacted by urbanisation when you look. Burleigh Head NP is one of those small gems. It's possible to walk about 3.5 kilometres through the bush, connecting different tracks to form a double circuit, observing different landscapes and plant communities. This shot is from the quite spectacular Oceanview track which is gated, and closed during times of high seas/bad weather due to rockfall risk. It was pouring rain during this walk (unheard of currently!) which made photography challenging. This view from below the Pandanus grove canopy gave me some protection to capture the interestingly lit medley of plant structure, detritus, rocks, waves and sub-optimal weather.
