I’m back on the photography scene and treated myself to a new Nikon D7500 DSLR, and there was no better way to christen it than on a completely and utterly impromptu road trip to Cooktown. We literally had nothing packed in the car and just said screw it and drove for 4 hours through the Australian mountains and outback, before finding a sweet little spot to park in the dark with no idea what awaited us in the morning. In the early hours of the morning we awoke to rain on the car roof, but thankfully it stopped just before it became light so we ran to the beach, and were greeted with the most beautiful sunrise. This was one of those trips where just saying yes and going with the flow definitely pays off, one of my absolute favourite trips I’ve ever done, so be ready for more stories and pictures to follow.
