TREKKING THE TROPICS

摘要

Just a short boat trip from Queensland's east coast is Hinchinbrook Island - where solitude is welcome and the natural beauty changes with every step.The sun had already dipped behind Mount Bowen on Hinchinbrook Island by the time photographer Drew Hopper and I headed off along the beach in search of Werrawilla Creek. Wed just pitched our tents at Little Ramsay Bay and needed to fetch drinking water for the night. We spotted a piece of driftwood marking the trailhead on the sand, and veered off into the scrub. Under the paperbark canopy, the air was still, and without the coastal breeze, the humidity was stifling.
