Exploring Mt Yarrahapinni & Scotts Mtn Forest trails in Disco 4
We explored a few 4wd offroad trails in the Yarriabini National Park near Grassy Heads. LR Discovery 4 with 19 wheels and 40psi all round road tires.

Yarrahapinni Lookout Time Lapse
On one of my nights staying down at South West Rocks, I ventured up one of the nearest mountains, Mt Yarrahapinni, to look back over Stuarts Point, South West Rocks, Hat Heat, Crescent Head and some of the flood plains behind them. This mountain is in the Yarriabinni National Park on the New South Wales mid-north coast. I shot this from the Yarrahapinni Lookout on Mt Yarrahapinni. Starting from about 7pm DST and shooting through until nearly 10pm, I captured just over 400 frames to create a time lapse showing the sunset and the towns lighting up. I was nearly being carried away by mosquitoes on dusk, so I hid out in the car for a while. When I was finally brave enough to step outside again, I was greeted by a sight I hadn't seen for a very long time. Fireflies. It was very cool seeing them again, although I was only able to capture one or two on the camera. If you look carefully, you'll see a couple of yellow streaks towards the end of the time lapse. I was actually trying to capture the waning full moon (~97% on this night), but I didn't do my research well enough. I actually rose and fell completely behind the mountain to my left. D'Oh! Oh well, good thing I got a couple of other shots of that the night before, when I was 100%. The final full moon for 2013.
There are a couple of dodgy frames in this, you'll see them flash by. Some are too bright and others are too dark. I'm too lazy to fix them up properly :)
Anyways, I hope you like this, I had a great time getting up there and exploring new areas.
Cheers.
