  Lake Frome, Outback South Australia Interesting backstory to this image. I was working over outback salt lakes that had recent rains. We’d been shooting at high altitudes but were finished and descending as we headed for base. Sitting in the back with the door open I was watching the waves in the water below. […]

    Although the pictures posted on the Sentimental Bloke website have always been randomly selected there has always been an underlying theme. For more than a decade I have been recording the ever changing cycles of nature.  These cycles have included drought, flood, dust storms, good weather and bad, the four seasons, the flora, […]

Here’s further evidence of the whiteness, the brilliance of the salt on Lake Frome in South Australia’s far north, particularly when it is dry. Pilots of aircraft flying low near the surface of the lake are likely to experience a phenomenon usually associated with the Antarctic or Arctic where the horizon becomes indistinct because of […]

The whiteness of the salt on Lake Frome is startling. Whiter than white as the soap suds ad goes. I’ve been told astronauts used the salt expanse to do their white balance checks for the cameras on their space stations. The other remarkable things is the numerous sand dunes that are trapped on the salt […]

Fresh rainwater surrounding islands of pristine white salt…so beautiful. Unable to get to Lake Eyre after some very heavy rainfalls a couple of months back the opportunity to fly over Lake Frome in South Australia’s vast outback was something of a surprise. After all the images of Lake Eyre that have been posted here previously, […]

The images I have been posting about Lake Frome in recent times have centred around a sand dune location at the edge of this giant salt lake. It is hard to imagine the size of Lake Frome and like the work I did around Lake Eyre to the north, the images posted here are trying […]

The link between sand and salt on Lake Frome is probably stronger than any of the rest of the dry lake system in South Australia’s Outback. Lakes Eyre, Torrens, Gairdner and the other smaller ones that cover large areas of the deserts have little in common with Frome. This is where the salt along one […]

Lake Frome in South Australia’s far north is a a bit over two and a half thousand square kilometres of salt, glaringly bright in the heat of the day, deceptively beautiful on the first light of the day. Occasionally a rabbit scampers from one clump of bushes to another along the shoreline. You wonder how […]

  Exploring the edges of Lake Frome in northern South Australia, an amazing mixture of textures and formations, even aboriginal culture. The lake is part of the local Dreaming story told by the Adnyamathanha people explaining how the region’s geology and species originated. According to this Dreaming story, Lake Frome was emptied of its water by the Rainbow Serpent Akurra when he ventured down […]

The memory of a scary night caught on Lake Eyre, not that long ago makes me very wary of driving or even walking on salt lakes. The surface is treacherous. Underneath is thick, deep black mud, about the constituency of treacle. Not something to get caught in as I did. Of course the salt eventually […]
