Carlo's Tropical Rainforest Gallery

This web page contains a selection of pictures which I took during a short visit to the Lamington National Park in South-Eastern Queensland, late 1997. Australia is widely perceived to be a continent of desert and scrub, however, what is less appreciated is that we have some truly superb rainforest habitats with many unique types of wildlife.

Photos and text ¿ 1998 Carlo Kopp; Photographs produced using a Mamiya 645/1000S.
