2012 Noosa Triathlon Photos

Hi all

This year I had another great time at the 2012 Noosa Triathlon & Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival.  I enjoyed photographing events from the Eyeline 1000 Noosa Ocean Swim on the Friday afternoon right through to the main Noosa Triathlon all Sunday morning. Here are some pics from the 2012 Noosa Triathlon:

Hi all

As you know I really like Noosa National Park at Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. I've collated some of my pics of the area from the last 8 months, all into one photo gallery.  Here are some pics of this marvellous area:

Banksia flower, Proteaceae family.


Elusive Red Backed Fairy Wren (Malurus melanocephalus)


Dolphins


Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)


A typically sleepy Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)


Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus)


Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)




Eastern Reef Egret (Dark Morph) (Egretta sacra)


Olive Backed Oriole (Oriolus sagittatus)


Perhaps a Brown Honeyeater (Lichmera indistincta)


When I exited the park & arrived at main beach, there was not a single person on the beach or in the water on this very cool, overcast day. Eventually this brave lady swam along.


Here's the photo gallery.

Thanks so much for looking!
