A place for posting photos of wildlife that visit us daily at our home in the Gold Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia.
Since moving to Nerang in the Hinterland on the Gold Coast in Queensland and Australia in 2003, my wife and I have been amazed by the amount of wildlife that we have on an almost daily basis.
In 2007, I had a major heart attack which left me with ongoing health issues and prevented me from returning to work. As I recovered I began to assist my wife in her work as a Wild Care volunteer rescuing, rehabbing, releasing, rehoming and even adopting some of the birds that couldn't released or rehomed.
Around the same time I rediscovered an old hobby from my high school days, photography, and have been an avid photographer of some of our visitors and elsewhere on the coast where we live.
On this page I will be posting photos of some of the birdlife and other wildlife I have taken in our front yard and elsewhere on the Gold Coast and will also be highlighting how some of these photos are being used in a range of items such as T shirts, caps, mugs etc. to promote the rich collection of wildlife in our area.

There is no doubt in my mind that this part of the world is a goldmine for bird watchers and wildlife photographers as you will see from photos on this Facebook page and hopefully, this page will encourage people from other parts of Australia and overseas to come and visit this part of Queensland.
Some of our photos are now available for purchase at: http://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-BrowseUser.cfm?user_id=PLUTOPUP
