I'm looking at Peninsula or Aspley as they're probably the closest. I like the idea of this 3 night getaway so I might make Peninsula my first port of call (when I get around to it that is).

The kind folk here provided me with a lot of those links to clubs a little while ago. I find most of the websites to be a bit vague though. I'll just have to show up and observe the happenings of these photog gatherings.

Sep 28, 2006 05:54 | #83 Yeah! I was there about two months ago. The visitor centre has a nice big lake full of bird life waiting to be photographed. Around sunset seems to be the best light for photos; I didn't find dawn all that good.  Take some bird food and your radio remote so you can set the camera up near the food. You'll need a long lens and tripod as well because large flocks of pelicans congregate on a central island or the inaccessible parts of the bank. On the week-ends, the visitors are a pain in the arse though, especially the little kids scaring the birds away  When you're trying to find the place, watch out for trucks! They really fly like the birds too. Also, go for a drive around Fisherman's Island; there are other photo opportunities to be had as well at the various loading facilities...watch for security guards. Fort Lytton is nearby and open on week-ends I think too, but I haven't been there (yet!).

First one was a day trip to St Helena Island. For those not familiar with the place, here's the link http://www.sthelenaisland.com.au/ Anyone interested? Probably best not to leave this one until it gets too hot.The other idea is a bit more ambitious and I'm still finding out stuff, but watch this space! I've often thought about St Helena.. so I'm in... probably with family in tow. Greg

Count me in. Talk about it on wed. They might outcast you as a spy darn, i got sprung!! No, there won't be a conflict of interest, i will only enter under ipswich in any inter-club comp. Unless of course, ipswich again pick my crapiest photo, i might enter under peninsula! Tina
