While the rest of the country rugs up and rolls through August, the coldest month of the year, Hamish Laing does his bit for Queensland tourism. Here he shoots Andy Schwartz loosening the limbs during a summer-like session at one of Queensland's offshore islands. Yeah, and we're still wrestling ourselves into wet steamers down here.

Wanna see more of Hamish's work? He and two mates operate The X-ray Machines, a blog documenting their work, travels and whatever else tickles their pits.
