    After a perilous hike around Cradle Mountain we stopped for a break, despite horrific conditions a group of hikers including myself made it around to see the summit of Cradle Mountain in front of us. With the mist just covering Little Horn, I decided to grab my camera and get a shot, this shot just gave a sense of not only why we were there, but the conditions we all faced that day on the hike. : by bluetaipan, Views[431]
         		 I'd heard and seen so many shots of Liffey falls, then when I finally got to see this magical falls I knew I was going to see something special. It didn't disappoint! I wanted to capture the whole of this magical falls, so I trudged in the water with tripod and camera in hand, and so perilously walked across. A photo can only describe the majesty of this place, and the only way to describe is for you to be here. : by bluetaipan, Views[418]
         		 I was told about this remarkable place whilst at Cradle Mountain. When I had the pleasure of seeing this magnificent place, I was left gasping. Olivia cascades just left me speechless, and walking away with a smile on my face. Despite the treacherous walk to get to this place, it was worth it!: by bluetaipan, Views[385]
         		 When I first stumbled upon the Enchanted Rainforest, which is on the outskirts of Cradle Mountain National Park, I didn't think I'd ever be so captivated by one place!. It is lush, and full of surprises! The first time I saw this remarkable spot, I never thought that a short 20 minute walk around can still leave you breathless, and wanting more. You also feel a sense of peace and serenity, and you walk through, or as you sit near the water, you feel the power of nature at its most raw beauty.: by bluetaipan, Views[373]

    The technique of climbing 50 meter high rainforest trees is laborious but offers truly unique perspectives. Ascending to the canopy of these emergent trees is a journey that might take as long as 20 minutes. Climbers begin in the undergrowth then pass the vine growth and several layers of lower canopy just to reach the lowest branches of the trees in the study group.: by spphoto, Views[808]
         		 Tree Climbing for science in the Border Ranges national park of Northern New South Wales. Epiphyte diversity lead researcher Jen Sanger reaches out to retrieve a sample of a newly discovered orchid 25m from the forest floor. In many of the worlds rainforests the number, distribution and ecology of these elusive plants is largely unknown to science. This project aims to form an extensive data set of distribution information so that these highly sensitive plants might be used as climate change indicators. : by spphoto, Views[965]
         		 Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the pace, Teneriffe (Brisbane), November 2011. So much construction work is going on around here: many modern houses and ground-breaking buildings. However, every now and then, you can still spot an old wooden Queenslander.: by sophieli, Views[2577]
         		 New buildings are rising behind the Maritime Museum, Brisbane City, January 2013. Cranes are a visible landmark. They shape the urban panorama of the city pointing to the sky. Will we touch it one day? : by sophieli, Views[354]
         		 Jogging on the Story Bridge, Brisbane City, January 2013. The Story Bridge is one of the main symbols of the city and offers a stunning panorama of its skyscrapers. This Bridge crosses the river in one of its tightest passages, Kangaroo Point, connecting the North side of the city, with the Southern suburbs. A Kangaroo's tail is hiding in the city's landscape and you may spot it if you go for a jog along the Bridge.: by sophieli, Views[527]
     
    Family Tree, Ashgrove (Brisbane), April 2013. This is a leafy and quiet suburb of Brisbane. The path leads to one of the many tracks that run along the city's creeks and parks. Parks are a social place, where kids have fun at the playground while parents get the barbecue started.: by sophieli, Views[358]
         		 Back from work crossing the Brisbane River, Brisbane City, January 2013. The City is were everything happens; it is easy to move around here thanks to pedestrian bridges and bikeways, which follow the on peak - off peak rhythms of the city. Every here and there some reconstruction work is carried out: a little reminder of the 2011 floods.: by sophieli, Views[329]

         		 Recently the owners have been forced to bulldoze the trees and rows of rotting fruit crates, and reappropriate the land for a more viable purpose.: by sarahdoherty, Views[310]
         		 Due to competition with larger wholesale companies, it has simply become impossible to earn a stable income off the understaffed Bendeela orchard.: by sarahdoherty, Views[270]
         		 As a result of his recent aneurism, the brother has been left unable to walk properly, and needs his sister to care for him. This has left the orchard to fall into a state of disrepair. : by sarahdoherty, Views[261]
     
    The orchard is run by a brother and sister who have lived on the property their whole lives. However, in recent years it has dramatically declined in sales and production.: by sarahdoherty, Views[302]
         		 Located in rural New South Wales, Bendeela Orchard is a privately owned and maintained fruit orchard.: by sarahdoherty, Views[363]

         		 It's closing time! The drinks have run dry, fun has been had, it's now time to head home. These empty kegs are left outside to be collected at the next drop off. Statistics show that Australian's consumed more than 77,000,000 litres of alcohol in 2011. As an Aussie, I'd say that's pretty good! : by brianstewart, Views[426]
         		 What is considered as one of the darker sides of the Aussie pub culture - pokies. Gambling is seen as a problem, to the point that even the government has stepped in and taken action to try and kerb problem gambling. Today, Australia has over 20% of the worlds poker machines!: by brianstewart, Views[387]
         		 Keeeep focused! Whether it be a game of darts or pool there is always time for a little bit of competition. To the victor, a schooner or two of beer, to the looser, an afternoon of light hearted humiliation.: by brianstewart, Views[392]
         		 There is a beautiful smile behind almost every nice cold beer. Meet Maree, she has been the barmaid here for the last 9 years. She tells me she loves every day of it. The locals are like her second family and she wouldn't trade her job for anything.: by brianstewart, Views[374]
     
    Here we have an Australian pub. For many it's a place to unwind, catch up with good mates, and have a yarn about work and life in general.... oh, and let's not forget the most important part, to sink a few beers. This is the Lord Nelson, its the oldest pub in Sydney!: by brianstewart, Views[475]
