Our visit to the Undara Lava Lodge and national park was very enjoyable, but frustrating in that we were only there for a very short period of time. A good few days would have been much better from a photographic point of view. On the morning before we set off back to Cairns, we went for a trek on the Swamp Track, which is a great place to observe wallaroos and local bird life. There were plenty of rainbow lorikeets in the area with this image being the most pleasing of the bunch. Image taken on the 17th August 2010 using a Nikon D200 and a 70-300mm lens. Camera settings were ISO 400, 1/1000th of a second, f8.
