Girraween walking tracks (Bald Rock Creek)
After the great succes of last years tour, we are agian running a 3 day guided Photography Tour of Stanthorpe / Girraween National Park (and surrounding areas) from Friday 15th May to Sunday 17th May 2015.
Autumn is an awesome time of year in this area, with the weather starting to cool down, and the vineyards ibeing harvested.
This tour will be limited to 10 people – although we may be able to stretch this a little if we have “close” friends or couples attending, who are happy to share a room/bed.
Planned ItineraryHere is an outline of the “planned” itinerary – but as most of the photoshoots are outdoors, is to some extent weather dependent, and subject to change. Social Get TogetherTwo weeks (or so) prior to the tour we will organise a “social” get together for those who are coming along, this will be very casual, and provide an opportunity to meet other attendees socially (probably at a pub/cafe over a cuppa/beer/meal). |
Technical / Logistics meetup
One weeks (or so) prior to the tour we will have a Technical/logistics get together to chat about the types of shoots we have planned, what equipment/gear it will be useful to have (for the most part this will not need to be anything fancy) and finalise logistics for car sharing, accommodation, etc…

Girraween Country Inn
We will organise cabin/hotel accommodation (staying at Girraween Country Inn), some meals, photo locations (We anticipate approx 8 separate photo shoots over the weekend covering a wide diversity of photography styles). We will provide advice and assistance during shoots, and may squeeze in one or two additional and training sessions/workshops along the way. You are also invited to attend a social get together 2 weeks before, and a technical one 1 week before.
You will need your own transport, or can share with others (we will organise car-shares)…You don’t need any fancy photography gear and this tour will be suitable for beginner to experienced photographers.
What it Costs
We have strived to keep a good balance between comfort and cost, and have intentionally kept the costs this tour as low as possible. The cost of this tour is just $490 (including GST). This includes accommodation at Girraween Country Inn , some meals, a guided (but flexible) itinerary of some amazing photo locations, and advice and assistance with taking photos along the way. The only additional costs that you will need to cover are your own transport costs (which will most likely be shared) and some of your own meals.
