There’s just something about being surrounded by natural beauty that calms my mind and body. On this visit to Jamberoo I was in luck because I got a room with a view. Consequently, during the week I spent a lot of time staring out the window, watching the kookaburras chatter, an echidna forage, and the light play against the giant Moreton Bay fig that patiently stood guard.

But as lovely as the view is, sooner or later I was compelled to explore it, and thankfully there was an abundance of wild and manicured delights to see. Being autumn, the last flourishes of flora were abound, and a walk through the rainforest that encircled the paddock provided my camera with many interesting textural details to capture.
