Oxley Wild Rivers

On sunday I went to the nearest national park, which is called the Oxley Wild Rivers NP. The section I went to is called Gara Gorge. It used to be smal hydro-electric scheme a long time ago. It really is just the edge of a very very large gorge system that runs east towards the coast. Its full of wonderful granite formations, creeks, fishing spots. I had not been walking there in a while but it seemed to be the smaller details which were grabbing my attention the most.








just at the begginning of the descent into the gorge is this waterhole, which was full for the first time in well over 18months. Maybe these kids (about 17 I think) should be in the sport section....Or maybe the lunatic section

without any zoom (I was up higher than they were)

Nice shots but the light looks really harsh :uhoh Did you shoot most of these during midday? Some of the shadows are really deep.

Anyhow, good work and hopefully you can shoot this place again under softer lighting

It is a shame when our lives don't coordinate with our photography. You did quite well in dealing with the lighting you had. The great thing is that you have this site with lots of photo ops that you can go back to when you have some better light.
