<\/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
