Elliot River at dawn
A long exposure shot taken at Kellys Beach in Bargara. It's superb to sit and have a hot coffee while watching the sea gulls, children playing and etc. Visit Bundaberg oneday in your life. I'm sure, it will be a life time memory for anyone.
This photo was taken in the evening while having a snack at Bargara beach. I love to spend evenings in the beach. I really do. According to my point of view, Bargara is one of the best place to do that.
Bargara is a coastal town in Bundaberg Region. The town lies 384 kilometres north of the state capital Brisbane and just 13 kilometres east of Bundaberg.
