Queensland



click here for Gold Coast
For many the ideal lifestyle is Australia's Gold Coast. High luxury, crass materialism, American influenced
with its own unique Aussie character.  Fabulous beaches and subtropical environment.    



click here for "Magnetic to Dunk Islands"

In North Queensland many beautiful tropical islands are just off shore.
I started my journey at Magnetic Island and travelled up the coast to Dunk Island.
Both islands were named by Captain Cook, and I felt I shared his view of totally unspoiled wilderness.





click here for "Noosa and Glasshouse Mountains"

Just north of Brisbane is the Sunshine coast and its "capital" Noosa.  Noosa is situated on a river, the adjacent point is a national park.  Behind the Sunshine coast are the spectacular Glasshouse Mountains: lava plugs of volcanoes long since worn away.   The area has an eery mystical feel, and is also part of Aboriginal mythology.
