Experimenting with angles and light. The window is about 5 minutes before there is a dramatic change in the landscape. The Ridgetop track, Arkaroola as not often seen.

Buggered!

25-thousand sheep brought in from all parts of a 10-thousand square kilometre station, shorn over 40 days and on their way back to the paddocks. The last day of this mammouth task shows in the eyes and stance of the station manager who’s orchestrated it all….until the same time next year. Simon Robinson, Commonwealth Hill […]

Sometimes out here you could imagine being the only person on earth. Dulkaninna Station, Birsdville Track. In the original image the colours are far richer than seen here.

Acacias to the fore…the amazing formation of the Elder Range and Mt Alec on Arkaba Station outstanding in the background.

The calm before the start of a hot, dusty day shearing on Commonwealth Hill Station in South Australia’s far west. There’s an article including photos I took for that story in the current edition of the R.M Williams Outback magazine. Not a bad read if you are interested.

One of the photos left over from a group posted last year. It’s almost mid morning before the sun climbs over the mountains and hills that line the Oratunga Gorge in the central Flinders Ranges. Turn 180 degrees and the creek flowing through the gorge rises to the surface then disappears again a couple of […]

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 […]

In an ideal world the bar that drives the shears could have been better positioned but this was not a posed shot. I was more interested in framing the photo to include the dog, the window and the sponteneity of the two old shearers in conversation. It is one of my favorite images from the […]

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. […]

Along the Parachilna Creek

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 […]
