Just gorgeous. And a marvelously captured mood of the gorge itself.

This is stunning. You are one determined man, Dan Proud (just read your replies to comments). I think this is where you also got footage of the bats? You have a wonderful channel, Dan, and I thank the Lord for you. ATB from Western Australia.

Yes that's right, Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland. One of my favourite places to be. Many thanks Joan, it's a blessing to receive a comment like this today!

Wow! bloody magnificent mate. How on earth did you capture those underwater shots? You are an inspiration my friend. Take care buddy and please keep these masterpieces coming. Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil! Watched them for a few weeks to find a reliable spot and learn their timing, then planted 4 GoPros for two hours early morning and evening for another 10days. Even after all that I only got a few shots!

Lovely one mate! Those places really put the sensitivity of the sensor to the test haha

[@dan_proud]

Thanks mate Yeah that was definitely the challenge. Esp when Platypus hour is 6am, in those dark deep gorge creeks when the sun don't shine till midday! The little gopros struggled in the low light underwater, and they look quite bad, but it's pretty special to see so thought I'd shoot it anyway.
