A walk through of some unique landscapes and coastal environments.

About the event

Diamond head is a beautiful area about 40 minutes from port Macquarie with excellent photography opportunities from wildlife to dramatic mountains and perfect areas for sea scapes. The plan is to shoot and explore the pinnacle just down from the car park which is about a 5 minute walk and there are plenty of opportunity's for unique and individual compositions. once we have finished up there we will proceed to the headland walk which will provide us with some really unique views of the mountain on sunset with lots of potential for wild life photography. ( this will total around 5km return walk)
