Posts over the last few weeks have reflected summer conditions and in recent times there has already been very hot days in the low 40s C. Despite the heat, surprisingly there’s some places in the Flinders Ranges where water is still flowing steadily in the creeks. How long the water will last will depend on […]

I am still surprised at how long creeks are flowing in the Flinders Ranges. It’s been a while since a decent rain, yet they still flow. Having been used to dry creek beds for so long during the drought years, it is still a real treat to hear the sound of water bubbling over rocks. […]

Reflections in one of the many creeks around the Flinders Ranges that have been flowing for months now. Lately the crystal clear water is icy. Yet sunny skies promote algae growth and insect life.

Having battled to get the spectacular Stubbs waterhole into perspective in the previous photograph, it is now easier to concentrate on the actually water hole without the massive rock face it sits beneath. Nevertheless the other surrounding cliffs provide a wonderful setting for this waterhole. Over the recent drought years this was a mostly dry […]

Lately I’ve been shooting in country with a lot of creek beds and gum trees. Despite that, the pictures I have been posting lately seem to be working on a different theme……rock faces and waterholes. Travellers around Australia might have seen this scene in a number of places spread across Western Australia or the Northern […]

Another look at this beautiful waterhole on the Arkaroola Creek in the northern Flinders ranges. A peaceful yet almost cathedral like place at any time of the day. Because the sun has to get above high hills to the east, there seems to be only a short window for taking good images. That’s about an […]

Nooldoonooldoona Waterhole, Arkaroola is one of the most beautiful waterholes in the northern Flinders Ranges. Yet it’s not easy to portray its full beauty in one photograph, mainly because a ninety degree turn in the creek is involved. It’s easily accessible and I have visited it many times. Two pictures posted earlier click here show […]

It doesn’t take more than a few drops of rain to work some magic in desert country. Recent good rains have made it worthwhile for people to visit this part of the world in the months to come. Here an instant waterhole transforms a once parched landscape into a place of beauty. Canon 5D, Lens […]

There’s been a bit of scattered rain around lately that has brought mixed fortunes over a lot of South Australia’s Outback. Some were good falls – other places almost missed out. There are some areas that are still isolated with many outback dirt roads and tracks closed. This section of the Arkaroola Creek down from […]

The Arkaroola Creek is one of the main waterways of the northern Flinders Ranges. The creek, and the beautiful waterholes along its path are said to have been created by Akurra, the giant serpent. The traditional stories of the Adnyamathanha people say Akurra drank nearby Lake Frome dry and still lives in the mountains to […]

This waterhole speaks for itself – ‘beautiful’, “peaceful”, “idyllic’. All of those things – but how about “Enchanted” too. When I find something as beautiful as this to photograph I don’t rush things. It’s on the Worumba sheep station about 25 kilometres east of the town of Hawker in the Flinders Ranges. I can vouch […]

It’s hard to believe this is the same waterhole as yesterday’s posting . Arkaroola Springs taken the next morning. Even though I had what I thought was a pretty good image of the Springs, it’s been my experience to look at all the angles before packing it in. You’ve got to remember too that there […]

With water in all the waterholes along the Arkaroola Creek this year there’s been plenty of locations to work with. Even though they’re all beautiful places, sometimes it takes quite a few days to get the right conditions that do them justice. Arkaroola Springs was no exception. I had in mind that the best angle […]

Rain sometimes comes in the nick of time. Arkaroola, in the northern Flinders Ranges hadn’t had a really good rain in 11 years. They were going to have to truck water in, the situation was so bad. But just two day from that decision the heavens opened up. The Arkaroola Creek ran for the first […]
