2014

Kooljamun indigenous community land. Dampier Peninsula, far north Western Australia. Endless empty beach....100+kilometres

Gwalia...abandoned section of old gold mining town...WA desert.

Wild camels. Central Australia......a common sight in very remote areas. These feral pests are descended from escaped Afghan cameleer herds in the days [1860's] when camels were imported to transport good into remotest Australia. There are now about 6 million of these destructive pests in Australia. White settlers introduced rabbits, foxes and goats....previously not here...now also feral pests in their millions, along with millions of feral cats, descendants of house cats...... They are all through the désert and remote lands. These animals all wreak havoc with the land and decimate native animal species.

Kooljamun beach...indigenous community land. Dampier Peninsula. Far west Western Australia...a very remote and difficult to access area.

Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia. It used to have two arches, until one collapsed in 1990.

The Bungle Bungle Ranges...Purnululu National Park. Far north Western Australia. These are some of the oldest rock formations on earth. It is a World Heritage listed Site in a very remote area. The beehive-shaped domes are Devonian calcareous sandstone, with regularly alternating, dark gray bands of cynobacterial crust.

Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). Central Australia. Walking into a gorge in these ancient, arid rocks. The human figures give an idea of scale.

Old film poster at Sun Picture Theatre...the 90 year old deck chair cinema in Broome, far north Western Australia. The still original decor is like a historic journey back through film. Apparently this is a 1967 film set in the North of India in British colonial days.

I am away for a month. I leave you with an uncropped picture of a wild freshwater crocodile in Lake Argyle, far north west Australia. I will comment when Internet is available! Best wishes...
