A PICTURE encapsulating the simplicity and natural beauty of the Tablelands and a close up of a bee are among the winners of the inaugural beautiful Yungaburra photo competition.
In a field of over 400 entries Mandy McCann’s ‘you’ve got a friend in me’, a photo of a group of young children playing together at Frawley’s Pool claimed the people’s section in the adult category. Robyn Graefling’s ‘Pollen Magic’, a fascinating image of a bee going about its business won the adult animal award.
“The competition has been a resounding success with hundreds of images being received,” competition coordinator Rolf Straatmeier said. “Many of them are magnificent images and wonderfully capture the true essence of Yungaburra and its wonderful surrounds.”
The competition was open to amateur and professional photographers who, following competition guidelines were asked to take pictures that showcased either Yungaburra’s iconic beauty, people having fun around the community, and the amazing animal, bird and insect species that call Yungaburra home.
The handpicked winners won a range of cash and vouchers.
The winning pictures will be displayed on the Yungaburra.com website.
