Channel Country
Out in the far southwest of Queensland, the land is flat and arid. Rivers flow inland and spread, then (usually) dry out before reaching Lake Eyre. It's called the Channel Country and we had a good view from about 11000 metres. Low vegetation grows along the stream lines and there's even some water visible as a brown line where the stream from the lower left joins. View large.

Up and away!
Just home from a fortnight of very summery travels (even though it's winter in Australia) with little chance to go online. I posted this image before departing, but had the wrong posting date so it didn't show as my most recent image. I expect to be back fully online over the next few days when I catch up with things. Here's an appropriate link. :-)
Through the trees
The forest of 'spotted gum' eucalypts in the Murramarang National Park.
To the beach
Those sections of fence mark the track leading to the beach, through our local nature reserve. HFF, everyone.
Myrtle Beach
The beach continues around that headland to the right. I visited in winter and saw only one person far away, but apparently this is the unofficial "skinnydipping" beach. View large.

Myrtle Beach north end
Continuing from my earlier images on Murramarang National Park, Myrtle Beach was the next to be visited. It was noticeable that the rocks on the headlands had changed: Dark Beach, shown earlier, is the southern limit of the sandstones found in the Sydney Basin. Another to view large.
Well, it works!
This high tech gate catch may not look impressive, but at least it keeps the cattle in the paddock. I tried to upload this yesterday, but the site was having problems. It's still Friday somewhere, so HFF and have a good weekend, everyone.
South end, Dark Beach
Following from my previous image, this is the escarpment at the southern end of Dark Beach. I must admit that I didn't realise when I was there that the fallen rocks on the beach looked so much like turtles!
Dark Beach
The name "Dark Beach" derives, with little imagination, from the dark gravelly sand covering on this small beach. Better large on black.
