This summer, nature enthusiasts and photography lovers are beckoned to immerse themselves in the picturesque landscapes of Lake Macquarie. The “Explore Our Great Outdoors” program’s photography competition is making a return, offering participants the opportunity to capture the true essence of nature.
As part of the photo contest, individuals are encouraged to focus on themes like the growth and movement of natural elements and the vastness of the great outdoors. Exciting prizes, including GoPros, await the winners of this creative visual endeavor.
Renowned local photographer David Diehm will be the discerning eye behind selecting the winning entries. Diehm advises contestants to embrace their surroundings, allowing the images to unfold organically rather than being forced or overthought.
Beyond the photography competition, the program features a range of engaging activities such as rockpool explorations, adventurous kayaking experiences, and bird-watching escapades in Belmont. A notable addition this year is the “sea turtles and sandcastles” event at Blacksmiths Beach, hosted by Hunter Wildlife Rescue. Families can not only learn about the captivating lives of sea turtles but also participate in a sandcastle building activity inspired by conservation efforts, with prizes awaiting the most imaginative designs.
