Cooloola Wildflowers

In August we visited different parts of Cooloola to see what native wildflowers are starting to emerge. Some areas had recently had management burns take place and the wildflowers hadn't had time to return, but this allowed other plants, such as Xanthohhreoa, squiggle gum and Leptospermum to shine. In other parts of Cooloola, the wildflowers were only visible to the trained eye. I spent this glorious winter day photographing the wildflowers. From the photos I selected ten of my favourite images to turn into lino prints for this collection.
