Video – Log on Thurra Beach

Camping at Thurra River Camp in Croajingolong National Park, I wandered along the beach and made a video from the view point of a digital still photographer, featuring a log washed up on the beach and half buried.

It was early afternoon, still summer time, so the light was rather harsh and overhead.

Still image at sunset of the log presented in the video above.

The same log pictured, backlit at sunset, a quite different image.

Croajingolong National Park, situated on the Wilderness Coast in East Gippsland, Victoria, houses many access points and camping spots.

My area is around Point Hicks,  Point Hicks Lighthouse, Thurra River, Thurra Dunes, Mueller River, Camp Creek, and the surrounding tidal inlets and bush.

Point Hicks, or maybe it was really Mount Everard, about 15 kilometres inland, was the first land sighting of Captain Cook in the endevour. In fact it was Lieutenant Zachery Hicks, in the crows nest, who sighted land and cried “Land a-hoy!”
