Photography: That weekend in Coolum, QLD
Hi all :). Been getting things sorted after returning from an amazing national campus leaders summit up at Coolum, QLD. It was a weekend I will never forget, gleaning wisdom from past decades of campus ministries and catching a vision for the future… more thoughts on that will be added here.
Well before I share a few nature shots from the weekend, a big shout-out needs to be given to the fantastic cooks at Luther Heights Youth Camp! I’ve been to my fair share of camps over the years as have many of people I attended the summit with and it was unanimous that the kitchen team at Luther Heights made the best camp food that we’ve ever tasted! Here’s a sample of what they cooked up:
Clockwise: Lasagne, Nachos, Schnitzel, Beef Burger… so good!
Scrumptious Apple Crumble!
If you are after a lovely location with good camp food in Qld, look up Luther Heights!
Alright, so unfortunately for us the weather was not the greatest with 2/3 days looking like this:
foggy and humid… not a nice combination.
But we had a chance to check out a local beach…
very rocky…
the view from a higher vantage point :)
Some interesting greenery on the way back to the camp site…

I call them water jewels :)
On our last day, the sun finally came out!
Blue skies at last!
We caught some sun flare…

<3 <3
Saw a boat… (is this called a tug boat?)
Was impressed by the innovation…
no sandy taps… because there are no taps!
And I got distracted by the sky on the drive to the airport…
A masterpiece
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. – Psalm 19:1
Hope the high schoolers are having a great first week back and the uni kids are enjoying the last week of freedom!

I think food and nature are my two favourite photography subjects :D. Thanks as always, CCU! You are one of my foodie inspirations so glad give you a small token of my appreciation :).
Sounds like a great weekend! Nice to know you enjoyed it. And that camp food does look impressive.
It was lovely, leaf :). If only I had another camp to attend some time soon *sigh*
Ow jealous! I’ve never been to Sunnie Coast despite my frequent trips to Queensland! Need to book a weekend there as soon as I can because I’ve heard great things about the region.
Ah good ol’ camp food. Yes, I do agree that what you had looks pretty good!
You really should give the Sunny Coast a go, Libby! I didn’t get to explore it much but what I did see what gorgeous! Hopefully you’ll get better weather than we did last weekend ;).
At least you were in a warmer place than Melbourne. :P I’d love to visit a warmer place right now!
True true, Jenny :). Thankfully Melbourne is warming up lately… can’t wait for Spring and then Summer !! :D
