Yamba August 2026 In Photos

I thought I had better get this post done before we jet off on another holiday! We stayed three nights in Yamba on our way back from Noosa. While there I finally took my proper camera out and about—a goal of mine is to do this more. One of the mornings I even got up and got out to the Angourie pools just after sunrise, which was a big call for this non-morning person.

  1. Wait…a kookaburra is a real bird? I honestly thought it was just a joke to make songs rhyme. THE MORE YOU KNOW! Your photos are lovely and I’m glad you had a great time.

    1. LOL, that is so funny and also the kookaburra call does sound like they’re laughing.

    2. 1000% real. I went for a walk to the loo at 5.30 am while camping, kookaburra laughed t me. Probably thinking “look at this fool who didn’t sleep in” 😂

      1. There’s a group of kookaburras in the Noosa National Park that always started laughing when I was running past.

  2. I love these photos! There’s something great about photography in that it makes you slow down, look around, and really appreciate life.

    1. I agree. Getting into photography really helped me pay attention to what is around me

  3. Beautiful photos, Melissa! So calm and peaceful… like the calm before the storm of your trip to Berlin!
    If we don’t read of you before then, I wish you the very best!

    1. Thanks Catrina. The northern NSW coast is a beautiful part of the world

  4. Gorgeous photos—as always!—Melissa. I love your sense of adventure and appreciate you take the time to document the beauty around you with such stunning pictures!

    1. Thanks Elisabeth. Yes, creation is truly amazing

  5. These are beautiful. I know I keep repeating myself but it is such a unique and beautiful country you live in.

    1. It is very big so there is a lot of variety. Germany is beautiful too.
