‘PROUD PELICAN’ WINS COLOURS OF ISAAC A stunning image of a pelican on Hoods Lagoon has pulled on the heartstrings of judges winning the Colours of Isaac Photography Competition. The annual contest saw amateur, hobby and professional photographers enter from across the Isaac region with the winners announced at St Lawrence Wetlands Weekend. Isaac Regional Council Councillor Jane Pickels said Victoria Rathbone’s image truly captured this year’s theme, ‘Wetlands, Waterways and Beaches’. “The Colours of Isaac Photography Competition had 29 photos entered,” Cr Pickels said. “From stunning sun rises, to the rich and colourful flora and fauna, the images were truly inspired. “I would like to thank everyone who entered Colours of Isaac this year and congratulate our winners. “This year all entries were voted upon by the public on the Isaac Regional Council Facebook page.
