After having taken the sunset shot of the train ( see last photo ) I turned around to go home and saw this amazing red glow. I pulled over quickly and tried to capture the atmosphere, the colours were so intense and there was no need to increase the intensity of colours through processing. My main processing goal was to reduce the camera noise due to the wide range of lighting conditions.

The days are drawing in and the chases are shorter as the Northbound trains run out of daylight. Today was a very nice clear day marred by countless burn back fires out West which produced rather spectacular conditions on sunset. Here Tasrail TR units 05 + 13 can be seen passing through Tea Tree with train 1-34, the units and containers glinting in the late reddish lighting.

Yes I know ! , I've done them to death these common and relentless TR Class and I've used this location several times before. But ! , the lighting was just too nice to pass.

The walk to the Liffey Falls in Tasmania's Great Western Tiers mountain range is not an arduous one and very beautiful. I hope to show you some highlights over the next few days.
In places like this with so much to see around and at your feet (beware of tiger snakes), it is worthwhile looking up. So I pointed the camera to the forest canopy to catch the sunlight streaming through, with traces of the light blue sky beyond. Had we been in Borneo I would have fully expected to see monkeys hanging from those branches.
But this is a temperate rainforest. A remnant from the great forests of Gondwana. So we have plenty of tree ferns (a very ancient species), myrtle beech trees and eucalypts. The forest floor is damp and gives off that unique odor of freshly decomposing organic matter. Birds flit about, but most of the animal life here is nocturnal.
More specifically this is a Callidendrous rainforest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_temperate_rainforests
Most of the trees we see in this photograph are Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) and the Woolly Teatree (Leptospermum lanigerum).
Tea Tree is a fascinating place to photograph trains and seemingly the angles and possibilities never seem to run out. Here the topography of the land can be clearly seen for both rail and road. DQ's 2012 and 2001 taken on Thursday 8th September, 2016.

Back on Sunday 17th April, 2016 Train number 1-34 with the ubiquitous TR class members 5 + 13 could be seen passing through the crossing loop at Tea Tree right at the end of the day. The loading of containers and logs could be seen glinting in the late evening sun.

TR Class Locomotive TR09 can be seen leading singly a short Northbound log train as the nice late sunshine compliments the fresh spring environment of Tea Tree with Train number 7-34.

We are some 30km up the Noosa River from the sea in the Noosa Everglades in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
The Everglades represent an ancient waterway of some 60km that has existed unchanged for thousands of years.
At this point, the river narrows and is slow moving and immensely dense with tea-trees which thrive on the wetland and tropical conditions here.
Their tannins darken the water causing a heavy mirror effect whereby its sometmes tricky to see the water line.
The Noosa Everglades is a wetland of international importance and part of the Noosa Biosphere, Queensland's first UNESCO
Biosphere incorporating four National Parks encompasses 150,000 hectares (circa 570 square miles) with an extensive
diversity eco-systems, culture, flora and fauna.
It is cultivated in New Zealand for mānuka honey, produced when honeybees gather the nectar from its flowers, and for the pharmaceutical industry.
Leptospermum scoparium, commonly called mānuka, manuka, manuka myrtle,[1] New Zealand teatree,[1] broom tea-tree,[2] or just tea tree, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, native to Australia and New Zealand.
