Beautiful location
Picnic Point Lookout and surrounding Parklands offer brilliant photographic opportunities. With magnificent views, a waterfall, and abundant macro subjects in the parks and gardens, there’s a lot to discover and photograph during your lesson.

I now live in Toowoomba, on the beautiful Darling Downs, 132 km west of Brisbane.
