I had the opportunity to go to a Birthday(s) function last weekend at Secrets on the lake up at the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
The only opportunity for star photos was up until 8:00pm, then the fog started to roll in (I was surprised it was so early).
The glow is the Sunshine Coast and I expect some from Maleny and Brisbane.
