Richard Henderson’s prize-winning photograph of the night sky

October 25, 2017

A South Burnett scene will feature on the Christmas cards which will be distributed this year by Member for Maranoa David Littleproud.

Earlier this year, Mr Littleproud invited entries from photographers in his electorate for his “Celebrating the Australian Spirit of Christmas” competition.

Richard Henderson, from Kingaroy, entered a dramatic photograph of the Milky Way above an iconic windmill.

This earned him first prize and a $100 store voucher.

Photos by seven runners-up in the competition will also feature on the card, including a sunset at Gordonbrook Dam by Christian Andersen, from Kingaroy.

The other runners-up were Elisha Pedler, Naomi Gearon, Ray Woodrow, Steven Casper, Cam Moon and Jenny Underwood.

Each runner-up will receive a $50 voucher.

“Thank you to everyone who submitted photos; there were more than 100 entries, capturing our wonderful Maranoa,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Thank you!”
