RSPCA Qld Montville Gourmet Food and Wine

We had a fun night last night, at the RSPCA Montville Gourmet Food and Wine evening at the Poets Cafe, Montville. I gave a talk about how to improve your pet photography, including live demonstrations of me photographing Benjy. The top photos below are the last two photos I took of Benjy last night. Benjy is currently at the RSPCA Noosa shelter looking for a new home, so get in touch with them if you are interested in giving him a home. Also there was Bob Irwin, who spoke about some of the issues surrounding Australia’s wildlife and especially about the plight of Koalas (more information here), and Mark Townend (RSPCA QLD CEO) also spoke. Altogether about 150 of us enjoyed the evening. I didn’t get much time for the gourmet food but I did find some time for the wine …

Afterwards we stayed at Coolabine Ridge, a wonderful new Eco Sanctuary just outside Mapleton. We wish we could have stayed a bit longer… so we booked in for our Wedding Aniversary in April! Many thanks to Ron and Helen for their wonderful support of the RSPCA, and for putting us up. We woke up to the most wonderful views and total peace and quiet – shame we had to get up and face the Brissie rush hour traffic!

Photos below are of Benjy, myself and Beck with Bob Irwin, some of the ladies from the RSPCA with Bob, and RSPCA Mark Townend with friends.
