Scenic Rim Landscape Photo book
Hi, I’m Julien Parrot, a photographer and nature lover originally from France/Switzerland who is now lucky enough to call the Scenic Rim home. Ever since I relocated to this breathtaking region in South East Queensland, I’ve felt an overwhelming sense of inspiration and belonging. Surrounded by ancient rainforests, dramatic mountain peaks, and ever-changing skies, I picked up my camera with fresh eyes — determined to capture the beauty I wake up to every day.
This book is a deeply personal project — a celebration of the Scenic Rim and the connection I’ve developed with its landscapes. It’s a visual journey through a region often overlooked, yet bursting with natural wonders.
Inside, you’ll find around 130 carefully curated pages of full-colour and black-and-white photographs — from the towering peaks of Mount Barney National Park, to the mystical winter mists that roll through the valleys at dawn. You’ll walk with me through the lush forests of Lamington National Park, and of course, experience the charm of Tamborine Mountain, the place I now proudly call home.
Why This Book Matters
We live in a world where we scroll past beauty every day without pausing. This book is an invitation to stop, breathe, and reconnect — with nature, and perhaps even with yourself. It's more than a collection of photographs; it's a story of place, light, and time.
Whether you live nearby or on the other side of the world, I hope these pages will bring a sense of calm, wonder, and appreciation for the environment we all share.
