Great Sandy National Park, Australia

[Exploring Elements]

On my recent 5 week trip to Australia, for some 4x4 writing and photography projects, I got to enjoy a day of overland adventure with my friend David and his Defender 110 "Goliath." We drove the beaches of Great Sandy National Park and took the opportunity to take a ton of pictures. The following post is basically a photo essay of the adventure, a highly recommended one if you find yourself on the Sunshine Coast of Australia.
