North Queensland is a wonderland for any photographer.
Trekabout Photography Workshops have put together a 'best of' NQ for an amazing week of tuition and photographic opportunity.
During this workshop, we will visit the Atherton Tablelands, Mossman Gorge, hidden mossy forests and streams and much more.
You'll
experience the ever popular Skyrail as it passes through the treetops
of the rainforest canopy. You'll step back in time as you hop aboard the
old timber carriages of the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
The
base for this workshop is the Reef House Boutique Resort and Spa right
on the beach front at Palm Cove. You can check out more details here.
We have a very special accommodation package deal available (details at
bottom of page) but you are by no means restricted to staying there.
Local
participants can travel from home each day and others may have a
favourite place at which they like to stay. No problem, but please be
mindful that all the critique, processing and theory sessions will take
place at the Melaleuca Conference Room at the Reef House.
