Leading into last weekend – it is lunch time Friday and we are on the road – a 2 hour road trip for a weekend adventure – our long anticipated weekend away at “Moogerah Dam” spending two night staying at a beautiful old house based on the banks of the Dam itself – a nicely secluded (as in the last house on a dead end road with a lot of farm land between us and the closest neighbour) – sharing the time with some great friends.
On the evening of our arrival, we were treated to a stunning sunset across the water.
And the sunrise the next morning was nearly as stunning
The main reason photographers usually go to Moogerah with a camera is for the astro photography – but unfortunately the clouds that gave the spectacular sunrise/sunsets were a start of more to come and we did not get much clear sky
I did manage a semi “Milky Way” shot quickly between some thicker cloud bands going through – but certainly not we were there for
We did a little bit of “fire spinning” by the Lake side.
And there were LOTS of birds to photograph
A quick photo of the house as we were packing to leave (phone photo) – pity it was a afterthought as with the different light over the weekend could of got some nice photos of it.
In summary a great weekend – we photographed, fished, and did a little bit of boating – there was a bonfire – we will be back.
A link to their website is here for anybody looking to go there – there is also caravan and tent accommodation available separately but you do not get this fabulous seclusion.
If you want to see even more photos from the weekend – I will have these and more on my facebook photography page soon
Cheers Dave
