DAY 2 - CAIRNS TO IRON RANGE

Thursday June 12

We depart early with a group transfer to Cairns Airport. We board our flight north to the unique wild’s of Cape York. This region has limited access, but our lodge is in the perfect place to maximise our interests. From rainforest to beaches, we will offer quality time. In fact, after our transfer from the airport, we jump right into our first shoot. I wonder what exotic creature will be found to fill up your card.

The lodge is a private reserve offering 200 acres of rainforest including 15kms of walking trails and a crocodile free swimming hole in Turtle Creek as well as a plunge pool. Each night also includes the chance to explore for nocturnal creatures. From cuscus (a very rare possum) to geckos, our professional biologist/guide will help us to find something different every night. How exciting!

DAYs 3/4/5 - IRON RANGE

Friday to Sunday June 13/14/15

Three full days of visiting all the highlights of this private reserve and nearby locations. Some are so good that we will visit twice or more. We will be up before sunrise, offer a midday break and back for afternoon and nocturnal shoots. We will also mix into the day short workshops from top processing tips and techniques to the importance of Visualisation. Many species like Ecelctus, Red cheeked parrots, Palm Cockatoos, Magnificent Riflebirds, Yellow-billed kingfishers and several possums are active all year. We also include car hire - (share no need to drive) to include adventures to Chilli Beach and through Kutini Payamu National Park, this ensuring greater opportunities for a diverse range of photos. Most important is that we will offer field workshops. Imagine being helped, on the spot for macro subjects, birds, reptiles - all not common or even rare. Some only visit from New Guinea for a short time of the year. We have several environments to explore including beautiful rainforest and isolated beaches.
