The snappers of the Macarthur region have produced the goods in this year’s Macarthur Nature Photography competition.
The popular annual event, which is run by Camden, Campbelltown and Wollondilly Councils, encourages people to submit their most striking, engaging and enticing images of local native flora, wildlife and natural scenery taken from within the Macarthur area.
Entrants submitted photographs into one of three categories: Caring for Country, Threatened Species and Australian Native Plants, Animals and Pollinators.
There were sections for primary and high schools, as well as an open category.
Combined, they reveal a Macarthur region rich in fauna and flora, something we sometimes take for granted.
Young Oran Park resident Asnika Sutharjan’s brilliant image, above, took out the main prize, the people’s choice award.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said the entries were of an incredibly high standard this year.

“We’re so blessed to have such beautiful nature all around us in the Macarthur region and sometimes the snap of a camera can capture that like nothing else,” she said after the presentation to the young snapper.
“That was definitely the case with our entries this year. Congratulations to all of the winners but also well done to everybody who entered.”
