I’m finding more and more that when going on photo trips by car, it pays to allow some extra time for unscheduled stops. Especially, if the weather provides good photographic conditions. Nothing worse than having ordinary weather for a stay then conditions changing on a return trip and having to drive straight back with little time for a break. I tend to do random stops anyway and arrive late at my destination.

Returning last year from a trip to Victoria, I came through some country towns and places that I wasn’t familiar with as notable photo destinations. This location - Woolshed Falls, was one of those places. It was a few kilometres out of the way and somehow I’m reluctant to make detours when time is limited and it turns out the waterfall may have dried up or some other unknown factor is at play. In this case I was happy I took the risk. A little gem of a place with very few people strolling around or perched on rocks for lengthy periods. For that reason, weekdays are a good options for travel.
