The photo below is of a branch of a tree on the side of a backcountry road in Waitpinga on the Fleurieu Peninsula. I often walk down this road or both the early morning and the afternoon poodlewalks. The road runs alongside some bushland, which is where we wander around after walking along the length of the road. We usually wander through the bushland back to our starting point.
The photo was made in low light on an early morning poodlewalk.
The photo below was made in the early morning in the Balcanoona Creek bed in the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park in South Australia in the winter of 2021. The Balcanoona pastoral Station was acquired by the park in 1982 and is in Adnyamathanha country.
It was the colours, textures and light that caught my eye.
I was there for 6 days walking throughout the Vulkathunha- Gammon Ranges National Park with friends under the auspices of ARPA bushwalkers. This ARPA event was known as the Balcanoona Camp, and we were based at the old shearers quarters at Balcanoona Station, which is now the HQ of the national park. This was my first time with the ARPA bushwalkers and I was a C grade walker. I wanted to be able to have some time to take photos, and to do so whilst walking through the ranges on the various hiking trails.
Melbourne fashion circa 2011
I spent a lot of time on that visit to Melbourne photographing shop windows.
