A family of three kookaburras perched in bright sunshine in the fork of a large eucalypt.

A male and female red-backed fairy wren perched side-by-side on a branch, facing in opposite directions. The male is in breeding colours and is singing, clearly to the female.

A portion of a dense, mature screen of melaleucas growing on the banks of an unseen lagoon. A few roosting ibis and one with wings outstretched in flight can be seen. Although a sharp image, the profusion of texture and shapes creates an almost abstract field, punctuated by the dots of white of the birds.

A creek in heavy rain, surface dappled by raindrops. The banks are heavily vegetated with reeds and grasses immediately, and then stands of mature trees further back. The sky is, unsurprisingly, grey.

An orange dawn sky fills the top two-thirds of the image above an almost ruler-straight distant sea horizon. Below the sea are the faint, pinpoint lights of Caloundra on the coast, but below that again is pitch black.

A long plunge pool of clear green water is encircled on three sides by rugged sandstone cliffs. A modest waterfall is tumbling down the cliff at the far end, replenishing the pool. A sole large tree and a few bushes have established themselves on a ledge just above water level, and there are glimpses of much heavier vegetation in the immediate foreground where the pool flows out into Maguk creek.
