This is the Milky Way setting over Two Rocks, just north of Yanchep in Western Australia. The Hoya filter did a pretty decent job of filtering the light pollution from the nearby town on the right and from the city of Perth to the left of the image. The fringe of the city's metro area is just 20km to the south.
The big rock in the middle of the photo is one of two large rocks on the beach, hence the name of the town. The other, more impressive one is closer to the town so is affected more by the light pollution. There was a little bit of fog in the air which you can see on the right of the photo. Tip: don't go walking through vegetation with your camera under your arm when there's moisture in the air! :-)
