Some shots with the iPhone
on the way to the bathroom yesterday night:
What an awesome day today!
I was in photographers paradise – actually two of them!
Coffee Works in Mareeba
was fantastic. Tried 15 different filter coffees, some coffee
liqueurs, and all the chocolates that they had on offer. There are
hundreds of coffee machines, espresso machines, tea pots, grinders
and heaps more in the museum which is a part of the coffee world.
Highly recommended to visit for everybody that is interested. I had a
superb time there (maybe a bit high on caffeine) and firing away with
my 35mm 1.4. Oh what an amazing lens that is on a full frame camera!

| Yes, indeed! |

| The type of crocodiles I really like! |
Afterwards I drove to
Granite Gorge to hike, walk and camp for the night. Amazing place as
well, bush camping surrounded by nature and tons of animals. Here it
was time to get the 70-300mm out and get going. The 'hike' is mainly
a climb over many granite rocks and I enjoyed it a lot. So many
things to take pictures of! All up I shot probably 500 pictures,
about 350 are left after the first cull. This place is so vastly
different than the rain forest the last few days – it is quite a
bit dryer here, higher altitude on the back end of the Atherton
tableland.
The rock wallabies were
really eager to get fed and were posing nicely for pictures. The free
range living huge turkeys, fluffy chickens and the peacocks were at
ease too.
The only animals I
couldn't get in front of the camera were the turtles that live in the
creek – I'll have another go tomorrow morning!
