The ever popular lonely tree overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains. This tree is located on private property and you can get permission to access the paddock from the owner as per the sign on the gate. You can easily photograph the landscape from the roadside as well. #roadtrip #queensland #australia #mountains #weekendgetaway
This is Flat Rock, situated in the Blue Mountains in Wentworth Falls. It's a lesser known spot but absolutely beautiful and exhilarating. I found the best way to find it was to search for Little Switzerland Drive in maps and follow that to the end. The area is not fenced so be careful! Great for sunset.
Noosa National Park hosts a treasure trove of magical spots on the coastline. I hiked almost through to Hell's Gates to find this gem. :)
Flying over the amazing Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays! 😀 #NationalPark
