Photo Dump: A somewhat random selection of photos from 3 months in Queensland last year. Spent a bit of time on the Gold Coast and Brisbane. #thisisqueensland #travel #travelphotography #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #travelgram #insydemedia #canonaustralia #canon #brisbane #goldcoast

For someone who spent nearly half the year on the road skirting around border closures last year, I didn't really share that many photos did I. Time to clear out some of the back catalogue before things fire back up for season 2022. Here's snow on the New England Highway while scampering across borders. #roadtrip #snow #roadtripaustralia #insydemedia #photographer #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

Obligatory stop on at the Three Sisters on the way back from Bathurst on Monday... Motorsport season is done for the year. #bluemountains #threesisters #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #travelgram #travelphotography #canonaustralia #canon

And then, just like that... It's like everything is back to normal. Well, almost. Soon! Quite looking forward to not second guess my movements and not worry about border restrictions. I might even dust off the passport and use some of those frequent flyer points. #sunrise #lakemacquarie #newcastlensw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #canonaustralia #canon #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia

So, funny story... I may or may not have, as it turns out, needlessly spent 3 months in Queensland in order to continue to work around border restrictions. Anyway, I definitely took some interesting photos which I'll share in due course. #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #seeaustralia #travelgram #insydemedia #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

Cool church... Snow somewhere along the New England Highway way back in July when I spent roughly 26 hours in NSW after Townsville to retrieve my car and get back to Queensland a couple of days before they announced that the border would be closed. At some point I need to properly document the last two years working around border closures and spending months on the road. #snow #roadtrip #newengland #seeaustralia #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #newsouthwales #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon

After over two months in Queensland, I finally caved and decided to see some of the sights... #naturalbridge #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #travel #roadtrip #insydemedia #travelphotography #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon #travelgram

Just imagine this caption is something witty about perspective... Realistically I just wanted to round out the set with the sunset photo I took the other day. #goldcoast #sunset #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #insydemedia #sunrise_and_sunsets #canonaustralia #canon #travelphotography #travelgram #travel

I suppose there are worse place's to be stuck for a couple of days. Gold Coast skyline as seen from Currumbin Beach. Photo clearly taken before the lockdown. #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #beach #surfersparadise #roadtrip #insydemedia #roadtripaustralia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon

The Gold Coast might be known for its stunning beaches and clear blue skies... But it's after the sunsets that the region really comes alive. #sunset #dusk #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #goldcoasthwy #insydemedia #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #canonaustralia #canon

Last one from Townsville... But since going home really isn't an option if I'd like to continue to work... The Queensland adventure continues...

Sunrises are great, but sunsets are always more conveniently scheduled. Another Townsville sunset as seen from the top of Castle Hill. #townsville #townsvilleshines #sunset #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #australia #insydemedia #travelgram #roadtripaustralia #roadtrip #travelphotography #travel #canonaustralia #canon #sunrise_and_sunsets

If I didn't know better, I would have thought I stumbled upon Jurassic Park.

Looks like I'll be in Queensland for a little while yet... Plenty more opportunities for tropical sunrises then. #sunrise #townsvilleshines #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #sunrise_and_sunsets #townsville #queensland #travelphotography #travelgram #travel #canonaustralia #canon #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #insydemedia
