The Bus

You get attached to your cars, especially when they’ve just reached the 550,000 kilometre mark.

It’s been many places that most cars or drivers wouldn’t dream of going. It been through floods, fire, across deserts and over mountain ranges and to a ist of outback places that is too long to mention. Put another way it’s been around the world nearly 14 times. It’s probably got a revolution or two left in her yet. A tip I learned from the last vehicle I had, a Toyota too that lasted for more than 15 years in similar work. Never wash the car. Well not until you trade it in. A good wash and a polish and it will come up like new. The car salesman was very impressed.

The image is one of the features in my gallery that is located at 76 Mundoo Channel Drive, Hindmarsh Island, South Australia. Open this weekend Saturday and Sunday 11am-3pm.

Mt. Alec in the Mist

Mt Alec in the Elder Range is often photographed. It’s formation is spectacular, highlighted in the morning by the rising sun.
A different view of the mount this morning, its peak almost hidden in the clouds still hanging around from the night’s previous storms.

There has been summer rains several times in the previous weeks around Wilpena and Mt. Alec, the green healthy vegetation quite noticeable.

Before, during and after bad weather is always a good time to be out looking for interesting light.

To finish off my little journey featuring ridges of the Flinders Ranges I’ve gone another hundred plus kilometres south to Arkaba station where there is dramatic change in scenery.

This countries lies between Wilpena Pound and the Elder Range near the town of Hawker.
