Discover Lake Weyba’s calm mirror and dark skies
Just ten minutes from Noosa Heads, shallow salt‑water Lake Weyba transforms twice a day: glass‑still pastel dawns give way to crystal‑clear starfields after nightfall. Its mirror‑like surface, wind‑gnarled paperbarks and iconic “Weyba Tree” make the lake a dream location for both sunrise colour and Milky Way reflections.
Why shoot Lake Weyba with us?
Wide, unobstructed eastern horizon—perfect dawn colours all year.
Virtually no light pollution: Milky Way core arches overhead April–August.
Shallow water means safe, knee‑deep wading for dramatic low‑angle shots.
Expert guidance from award‑winning landscape & astro photographer Dylan Knight.

Testimonials
“I was absolutely stoked with the workshop, was a bit unsure with the constant rain but Dylan kept me up to date every day and honestly gave me peace of mind. I’d been trying to learn on YouTube how to capture the Milky Way but honestly wasn’t having any luck until I got hands on and Dyl clarified a lot of the questions I had. Would love to do this workshop again and soon!”
“Dylan was an attentive and knowledgeable instructor who was prepared to put in extra time in order to make sure the group had an opportunity to capture the images in a night of changing cloud conditions. He made sure to check on all photographers in the group and provided tailored advice to each individual.”
“The Astro photo workshop was excellent. Dylan was very knowledgeable and professional. He went over and above to ensure we all had a great experience and followed-up with addition information to assist us further. I would highly recommend a Nikon School Workshop and Dylan Knight.”
