Australian Landscape & Nature Photography by Michael Boniwell

Australian Landscape & Nature Photography by Michael Boniwell


Lake Elizabeth sits nestled on the East Barwon River in the Great Otway National Park, along Victoria's Great Ocean Road. It was formed in 1951 by a natural landslide and now boasts a beautifully serene landscape and an abundance of water birds. They filled the crisp morning air with their calls as I stood waiting for the sun to rise, watching mist glide over the water's surface.

Surrounding the lake is a clear, well maintained walking path that takes a couple of hours to complete but is a real treat. For mountain bikers you'll also find a wealth of marked (and even graded) specially designed trails. A bit like the same experience you'd find on the downhill ski runs, minus the lifts. Canoes are also available onsite. I'm guessing you could ask in the town of Forrest about them.

Although this location is only a few short hours from home, it had been decades since my last visit. Reacquainting myself with the scene I found many of the partially submerged trees had gone, but there were still enough to make a cracking good image under the right conditions.

A few attempts later our boy and I found ourselves poised on the lake shore witnessing glorious mist over a super still reflection. I was so enchanted I failed to notice water creeping over the top of my boots, but even wet socks and a sloshy walk out could not dampen my spirits.


This image is capable of being enlarged to enormous proportions while retaining fine details.
