On Day 35, we went up about to a large mountain range close by which took around 30 minutes by car. Where my brother is located, you have Coolangatta within 30 minutes and this lovely mountain range. The town of Tambourine is very “perfect like” and reminds me of a small village in Cornwall where everybody appears to be ever-so-happy!
Once at Tambourine, we went to the Skywalk in the forest where you walk close to the tree line on very high walking platforms.
Here are some photos…
We stopped at a lovely location for a coffee on our way up the mountain. You can see Main Beach and Surfers Paradise in the distance.
A kookaburra decided to join us for coffee 🙂

The walk around the Skywalk took around 45 minutes.
Its a long way down from the Skywalk platform!

Check the way that vine wraps round the tree!
At this point we're off the high platforms and walking through the forest.
The trees are really tall...

Was very peaceful being here... listening to the water running by...
Can you see the Skywalk platform...
Me at one end of the Skywalk platform... I love that forest behind me! Was really awesome to look at.

After the Skywalk, we moved on to a waterfall nearby...
The waterfall from another angle... Shooting in bright harsh light makes it difficult to get a shot where you can see the water running...
A very tame kookaburra! I love the way the bird is looking down. Taken at a 105mm focal length.
My last frame... taken at 200mm...
Tambourine Mountain really is a beautiful spot, having been there several times. The waterfall looks fairly dry at the moment as well; maybe just the time of year… Thanks for all the photos of Lucia, Cliff and everyone….
Cheers,
Barry
