Sunset Pause
Just take it in and breathe.

Glow In The Dark
Those little COVID test UV torches started us on a whole new way to view the forest at night. Now, with a more powerful UV torch, we get to feast on the richness of the colour palette of mosses, lichens and liverworts. It is out of this world!

After Dark
Some of the most fascinating natural aspects of Paluma can be seen on one of Jamie’s night spotting walks. If you ask, I’m sure he’d oblige you with a fun nighttime venture into the forest.

Gugu Badhun Country
This is where the Mt Zero-Taravale Wildlife Sanctuary is, a little west of Paluma. It is a critical biodiversity hotspot and the centre of a massive Australian Wildlife Conservancy project involving the Northern Quoll. We are so proud of Flick and Macca and their team and love seeing them (when they have time) in the village.

Playing With Fire
There is always excitement around the time of Len’s anagama firings. It has been a privilege to watch him cajole ‘Mother’ (my nickname) to hellish temperatures to achieve the burnish and sheen of his glorious pieces. Everything is recorded; it is a passionate science. Art from the heart.

Volunteers
Wilfred and his willing ‘worker bees’ play a major part in the maintenance and upkeep of our village assets so locals and visitors alike can enjoy it.

Checkpoint
The quiet before the storm… one of the more peaceful checkpoints along the way of the Paluma Push.

To Life!
It astounds me so many put their bodies through so much and absolutely love it! I just love the energy and vitality the Paluma Push brings to this place.

By The Pool
Meditation by a rainforest pool or stream has reset many a bad day or week.

Beautiful To The End
Our rainforest foliage epitomises the phrase: “aging gracefully”.
