With the weather improving and the tourism industry heading for peak season, June was a great time for photography in Douglas Shire and surrounding areas.

Our Newsport and other local photographers took advantage of the conditions to capture some great moments.

If you have any photos you want considered for inclusion in our July gallery, email them to [email protected].
