Day 17: Atherton

Today was the least distance travelled since the beginning of this trip. Came to Atherton in the morning and I ‘like’ this town. It has a little city centre, neighbouring farms and mountains; and Cairns is only about 80km away. The town apparently won the ‘Tidiest Town in Queensland” back in 2004 (whatever that really means!)

Also, spent a couple of hours at the Herberton Historic Village today. It was a nice place to travel back in time.

My journey in Queensland is about to come to an end. Next, I will be travelling towards the ‘Red’ centre. There will probably be a few more stops before crossing the border. It looks like a lot of driving is coming again….

    More beautiful shots. is it HDR processing John? I really like it.

    • Yes Karen, I love HDR. I use it on most of my images but only to bring out what normally can’t do in a single exposure. Then I do most of the processing in Lightroom 4. It is the best software I have used. Unless for some major touch-up, don’t even use Photoshop anymore.
