There has been a bigger gap than usual since my last post, simply because I have been away from home. Over Easter and the next few days I was ‘out West’ as we say, to stay with relatives on a cattle property ‘near’ Aramac (nowhere is ‘near’ anywhere else out there, by most standards), then to Porcupine Gorge National Park to the North of Hughenden, then to White Mountains National Park between Hughenden and Charters Towers on the way home. The round trip was roughly 1200 km.
The country was at its absolute best, just after the Wet with everything green growing and flowering. I had a wonderful time and took more than 1000 photographs. That, of course, means a big job sorting them before I can post the best here on Green Path, as I will over the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, here are a couple of samples:
Update, 12.5.12: A bit about the cattle grazing property is now here and White Mountains is now here.
Looking forward to seeing photos from the rest of the trip!
They’re coming … I expect to get some of them up over the weekend.
At this stage I think there will be some nice landscapes here complemented by bugs on my Flickr photostream, http://www.flickr.com/photos/malcolm_nq/.
In fact, the first lot of bugs – mainly termite mounds and ants’ nests – are there already.
:-)
Looking forward to more of your landscapes.
I particularly like the tree in the stockyard shot… it’s shape and colours are very appealing.
Thanks, Margaret. I will be getting back to my visit to the cattle property asap but I’m writing about White Mountains first. That post should go up today.
The first part of the trip, our visit to ‘Rainsby’ is now at http://malcolmtattersall.com.au/wp/2012/05/life-in-the-outback/ although the wildlife photos are still to come.
