Rainbow - The Gorge
This shot took me somewhat by surprise. I had just spent two days hiking in Mt Buffalo National Park in Victoria, Australia with half of it off track. The previous day I had woken on Mt McLeod and hiked straight down over the granite slabs to Rollasons Falls near the base of the mountain. To give you an idea of how hard it was, it took me 7 hours to hike 3km, quite treacherous in spots too, but magnificent country and vistas. That morning I had re-ascended the mountain via ‘The Big Walk’ to my car then went back to the Chalet to say good bye to The Gorge. Having been to Bents Lookout numerous times before I saw no point in taking my camera which until this point had been my constant companion. Of course as soon as I got there this amazing rainbow appeared sending me scrambling back to the car for my camera, fortunately it was still there when I got back and this image was the result which ended up being my favorite for the trip.
