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 a while since a new image was posted here. Not from want of trying. Too much time on the road, three projects that have taken up a lot of time, have produced only a small number of images and are not finished yet are the reasons. However there have been some small changes […]

They say shooting landscapes in the heat of the day is not a good idea. However this road caught my eye for two reasons. 1 , a simple and  interesting composition and 2, it illustrates summer in the country. It was well over 40C when I took this shot. I think the glare of the […]

It is a fallacy the Australian Outback is a vast, flat featureless plain. Granted, at times the gems may seem far apart but in reality it is an ever-changing landscape of colour…almost chameleon like. Take for instance the Margaret Range, about 70 kilometres south of Oodnadatta on the Oodnadatta Track not long after a brief […]

It is not often the Sentimental Bloke gets to see the ocean. Salt water yes, but not the sea. This is the coastline close to a tiny community called Port Gibbon near Cowell on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula. I was there for just one full day so photography was pretty limited. Cowell is […]

Here’s a bit of a reality check following on from the previous post…… an ocean of mud, something to get your feet firmly back on the ground. Luckily a short climb up a hill managed to get some mobile phone coverage to call the cavalry….otherwise this could have been a time consuming, very dirty problem.

I found this photo after a request for an image depicting the the Ridgetop Track at Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges. I wanted something that wasn’t just the usual shot of a Ridgetop tour vehicle going up Sillers lookout and I came across this,. The Ridgetop tour has been running for over 40 years […]

The question is…what’s over the hill? It all depends on which way you are travelling, but what ever is ahead, it will be a welcome sight. If you can take your eyes of the road, there’s a vast ocean of green out there and it goes on for kilometre after kilometre. Travelling down the Oodnadatta […]

A big contrast to the summer photos of the last few posts. For the the last 48 hours or more a vast area of the outback has been inundated with heavy rains and there’s more to come. I think it is safe to say that every road in the Flinders north of Hawker and Outback […]

There are probably ten big creeks along this road but yesterday afternoon just two were flooded. A not unfamiliar occurrence around the Flinders Ranges and the Outback which can catch out the unwary traveller or camper foolish enough to camp in a creek bed. The actual downpour can be many kilometres away in the mountains, […]

The machine is an old Indian motorbike, Second World War vintage. A beautiful old bike, unfortunately a little banged up. Not half as bad as the rider though. The pair came a cropper on a dirt road in the central Flinders. The rider got a broken collarbone in the spill. And with the rest of […]

Hematite Hill, Arkaroola. Hematite is the mineral form of iron. The rock in this case is black and, as can be imagined, is quite heavy. It’s the main ore of iron which is mined when in large quantities. That’s not the case here. Mulga trees (acacia anuera) are in the foreground. Mulga is an interesting […]

The Mt Hopeless Road on Wooltana Station which connects up with the Strzelecki Track to the north. It probably doesn’t look too much like this at the moment. The road is closed. Gone AWOL again for a few days.

Around Christmas/New Year I signalled a drop off in the number of pictures that would be posted here in January. There will be a gap of about 10 days from now when it will not be possible for me to upload new images. However I should return with some new material for the Sentimental Bloke […]
