The scrambled foothills of the Gammon Ranges. The Munyalana Valley on Wooltana Station to the left. The Gammons are just a small part of the larger Flinders Ranges.

One of the shots taken the last time I was in the Flinders Ranges. The delicate blooms of the Butterfly Bush a couple of months ago before the heat of summer set in.

Looking for something entirely different but found this little beauty instead. My attention span doesn’t reach as far as finding out the name of the flower with a purple centre….too busy trying to get a photo that separates the bloom from the background and deal with a bit of a breeze as well. The Himeji […]

Standing on a desert plain surrounded by an untold number of rocks – all various shapes and sizes. And then, there’s one in a million. Covered in lichen, tiny colourful flowers and the sun falling at just the right angle. The Roy Orbison of the Rock World.

This stretch of water was a real surprise. Such a beautiful and peaceful scene. When I photographed the Oratunga Creek from the ridges above a few days earlier, it looked quite tiny. Up close it is substantial as far as creeks in the Flinders Ranges go. Despite the tranquil waters, the stream flows quickly and […]

As often happens in the Flinders Ranges, the morning can see a bank of cloud over the eastern ranges while there’s clear skies to the west. There is a sharp contrast from the previous post but not much time between the two photos. The cloud bank is most obvious though. It’s taken from the same […]

I’d never taken the trouble to explore this area before. It’s between the Glass Gorge Road and the Parachilna Gorge in the central Flinders Ranges. Rugged country and certainly some grand views of the Heysen Range in the background…….a typical Flinders Ranges scene. However it was the little glimpse of water that caught the eye. […]

A simple scene, yet one that I find quite interesting, mostly because of the light falling across this bend in the Parachilna Creek . Of late I have become aware of many landscape photos that are a composite of two or more images which have been worked in Photoshop to the point where they look […]

From a vantage point high on a slope on Moolooloo Station near Blinman in the central Flinders. Three days at the same spot, waiting, waiting…freezing cold and a bitter wind. You’ve got to be nuts. Despite the discomfort and the conditions, the Fuji X series cameras and lens have now been through a scorching, dusty summer […]

Inspired by the work of New York Saul Leiter who died late last year. For any student of photography, Leiter’s work is well worth studying. There’s a documentary about Saul Leiter just released, called “In No Great Hurry: A quick look on the internet will find many of his pictures, life story and the movie, […]

For just a few moments the view of the Heysen Range from Moolooloo Station near Blinman in the Flinders Ranges is a sight to behold. But just as quickly as night descends, its gone.

On a clear day you can see for a hundred kilometres or more. A real sense of space. The vista taken in by tens of thousands of people over the last fifty years who bounce along in vehicles on Arkroola’s famous Ridgetop Tour. The stark contrast of the mountains of the northern Flinders Ranges on […]

The Place – Commonwealth Hill station. the second of my assignments for the Best of Outback Stations publication. Commonwealth Hill is a really interesting and remote location, and without going into all the details of the story, a station that has rarely been seen in print before. The photo – early morning drafting of some […]

The Birdsville Track gives a sense of never-ending space as it passes Dulkaninna Station homestead. The Photograph was taken while shooting an article on the Bell family for the “Best of Outback Stations” publication back in April. The Bell’s can trace their heritage back to the first European establishment of pastoral properties on the Birdsville […]
