Last time I went to Whispering Falls it was spring and there was a lot more water flowing there. Today, in late summer the flow was less but the place is just peaceful as ever. The sign at the start of the track says one hour to the falls. I did the return trip in about three and a half hours today which is typical for me. Along the way it occurred to me that one of the reasons I enjoy photography is that it gives me an excuse to spend half an hour kneeling in wet grass, examining dew covered spider webs without bringing my sanity into question.

Whispering Falls; one of the coolest places to play around with long exposure/blurry water shots.

I've had a great day. I have 750 megabytes worth of photos, a flat camera battery, and tired legs to prove it.

I got away in my camper-van last night to one of my favourite spots.

The lookout at the top of the Spooners Range is an inspiring place to be at sunrise.

The ranges to the southeast look like paper cutouts in the first light of the day.

A soon as the sun was clear of the horizon I drove to the Aniseed Valley and walked the Hackett Track to the Whispering Falls. I will publish a few photos from there shortly...
