\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been working on a commission at Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges recently. It required an afternoon shot, so mornings were free.<\/p>\n

It was a chance to visit a really beautiful waterhole there.<\/p>\n

I have taken photos of Arkaroola Waterhole previously in the morning light but when it has been nearly full. You can see one of the images here<\/a><\/p>\n

Now well into summer the waterhole has contracted to where the water level is quite small.<\/p>\n

However it has become an essential part of life for all the wildlife that live in the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the sun’s rays had reached the rocky crags surrounding the waterhole it wasn’t hard to spot yellow-footed rock wallabies.<\/p>\n

I counted eight and took quite a few photos. I’ve used just two that show the little wallaby’s extra long tail – a very handy body part that enabled them to be so nimble across the rock slopes that are their home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve posted articles about yellow-footed rock wallabies before and how they are still considered endangered.<\/p>\n

You can find that on the link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However actually photographing them at the water’s edge is a first for me.<\/p>\n

Beautiful little creatures in a beautiful location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
