On the 10th of August we started our trip to hike within Girraween National Park.
The camp grounds were amazing, hot showers, fire places so really not roughing it.
So we first headed up the first pyramid and had a look at all the views amazing and a nice easy track, then at night we decided to try and get some of the perseid meteor shower but we missed them all. We had a friendly possum in the camp who just wandered up and looked around before continuing. Classic Aussie possum, whereas a NZ possum would attack your face if you get too close.
We spent most of the night trying out different exposures with our camera, took ages to get the right technique but were pretty stoked with what we achieved. Thoughts??
Looking side on through our Galaxy (crazy amount of stars), really crazy makes the planet feel small. This is the Milky Way.
The only part of the meteor shower we got in the very bottom right hand side. The tiny line.
The Pyramid
The first Pyramid - we climbed to the top of this, it was steep!

Second Pyramid
On the Pyramid.
The balancing rock, really impressive as the area its balancing on is really small and you can put your hand underneath the rock. Crazy!
Bit of Rock Climbing, was a bit of a mission getting down.......
A long way down..... "Shahn be careful", "I will"... Seconds later skidded a little bit, Michael just shakes his head at me. Uhhhhggg okay sorry I'm a bit of a clutz, but I try!
The Doorway
Jumping about in the bush

Getting to the top of Mt Norman meant heading up a little Chimney was a bit of a mission, really narrow and steep but good fun.
Nights shots near Chinchilla
These nights shots were really cool, as I was trying to get the meteor shower but had little luck, also it was rather cold.
Magellanic Clouds. Very cool
