While not a professional photographer by any stretch, the photos all mean something to me as a resident, husband and father.

Whether it was a quick family play on the beach at sunset, a walk along the Esplanade or a weekend excursion to the Mary Ann steam train in Maryborough, they are pictures that evoke a positive memory.

They tell a little story about our time here on the Fraser Coast as new residents and community members.

Having said that, I have come across the work of some amazing photographers since starting the @frasercoastmissions Instagram page.

Some are professional photographers capturing the real beauty of the area, while others are eager amateurs showcasing their talents or even locals and holidaymakers sharing photos that remind them of a great experience.

The images might not be the ones that have attracted the most likes or engagement on the page, but they are photos that resonate with me and have made me think about weekend getaway options and activities – the original purpose behind @frasercoastmissions.
