From the jungles of India, where he filmed wild rh From the jungles of India, where he filmed wild rhinos from the back of an elephant, to documenting wildlife and landscapes across Australia, Stanley Breeden’s life has been shaped by an extraordinary curiosity for the natural world. Over more than six decades, his work has included 25 natural history books, documentaries, two Emmy Awards, and work published in National Geographic. Stanley first photographed the Atherton Tablelands in 1962 and was so struck by its waterfalls, plants and wildlife that he vowed to return and live here one day. Thirty-five years later, he did. Today, Stanley lives on his nature refuge, Bulurru, and is still creating, with a new book about his lifelong adventures in the Australian bush underway. 📖 Read more about Stanley’s remarkable life in our August issue. ✍️ Article written by Annette McKinley

Ever wondered what Mt Quincan looks like from abov Ever wondered what Mt Quincan looks like from above? 🌋 Rising from the farmland near Yungaburra, Mt Quincan is one of the youngest volcanic features on the Atherton Tablelands – and from the air, its crater and steep-sided volcanic form are impossible to miss. In our August issue, Kevin Explores takes us above Mt Quincan to explore how it formed, what makes it different from the Tablelands’ older volcanoes, and the remarkable Aboriginal oral histories that may preserve accounts of volcanic eruptions witnessed thousands of years ago. It’s also a fascinating look at the landscape we see every day – from the volcanic soils beneath our farms to the craters, lakes, and hills that reveal the Tablelands’ fiery past. 🌋 Read the full story in our August issue, and follow Kevin Explores on Facebook or subscribe to his Substack for more aerial adventures and stories from across the Tablelands. 📸 by Kevin Explores #whatsontaeeblelands #athertontablelands #exploretnq #fnq #tnq
