Springbrook, Warrie Circuit

I haven’t done too many hikes in my life, well a few. But Warrie Circuit in Springbrook National Park was definitely one of the best ones. Hot tips: Go after a period of heavy rain to lose count of how many waterfalls you see.

Don’t forget to scroll down to the very end of the post to see a couple of videos that I filmed and edited, almost all by myself (Mikael the pro helped of course).

Jacaranda Festival

As Mikael’s business as a videographer picks up, I am really happy to assist in the ways I can. A few weeks ago ago, I got contacted by the recruiter who secured the office job I currently have and asked about Mikael’s availability for a festival he was organising for Good People up in Brisbane where they needed a video to capture the feeling of the festival.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is truly a special place on the Gold Coast. Having been twice in the short period of time we’ve lived here is a testament to that. Taking mother in law was a very nice experience!
