When on top of the sand dune near my camp at Andamooka Waterhole in outback South Australia, I noticed another waterhole, a kilometre or so further up Myall Creek, and just had to check it out with a view to getting some good arid region landscape photos.
Myall Creek comes from about 25 kilometres to the [...]

In 1858, John Mcdouall Stuart, the great Australian inland explorer, accompanied by George Forster and an unnamed Aboriginal guide, camped at Andamooka Waterhole which in these days is on Andamooka Station in outback South Australia.
Andamooka Waterhole was my introduction to John McDouall Stuart, my adventure hero, you could say, so this camping spot of [...]

Lesley and I visited Menindee Lakes in outback NSW, Australia, on our recent photography trip. Here is an album of images, mostly dead trees with a few wildflowers thrown in.
Claire has made some comments, below, and has kindly sent this great macro shot of a bee foraging on the Patterson’s Curse, near her home.

With flood waters flowing down the Darling River from Queensland, Lake Pamamaroo is filling and the water is flowing on through Copi Hollow to Lake Menindee and Lake Cawndilla.
Black box trees of Lake Pamamaroo, killed by the water levels of the enhanced capacity of these natural lakes, make for a stark landscape image in the [...]

In pristine condition, the rain and wind of recent days hadn’t knocked them around and they were at their peak. Some pods could be seen and new blooms, just opening, were common.
Luck was with us [...]

Camping at Thurra River Camp in Croajingolong National Park, I wandered along the beach and made a video from the view point of a digital still photographer, featuring a log washed up on the beach and half buried.

Well, I’d got set up at Thurra River camp in Croajingolong National Park, had some lunch and a well earned rest, and felt like a wander along the beach with the digital camera.

Camping in Seven Gates Hut at Lake Eucumbene, once again, I made a time exposure image, overlooking Lake Eucumbene and the town of Old Adaminaby.

I’ve revisited some photos from my recent trip to Thurra Dunes in the Croajingolong National Park in Gippsland, Victoria.
I’d call it rather heavy editing of the colours, some using Irfanview and others using the GIMPas my editing programmes.
My images had left me rather disappointed and it was only just the other day that the reason [...]
