Coobowie Bay

Coobowie Bay early in the morning at high tide when there was very little wind blowing.

Coobowie Sunrise.

Coobowie sunrise, it doesn't getmuch better when on holidays than to see the sun come up over the water. This early morning photo was taken before the wind picked up which it seems to do in theis part of the world. Coobowie is located on the York Peninsula in South Australia.

Wool Bay.

Wool Bay and Port Giles jetties can be found not too many kilometres north of Edithburgh and Coobowie at the bottom of York Peninsula, a popular holiday destination within South Australia. This photo was taken from the road going down to the Wool Bay jetty looking out towards Port Giles silo complex.

Merry Christmas.

Hogwash Bend Sunset.

Bright sunset at Hogwash Bend South Australia. This one was taken early evening during a weekend stopover at the river side location.

Port MacDonnell.

Port MacDonnell of South Australia is located on the eastern side of the Sate towards the southern part just below Mount Gambier on the coast and offers the tourist some great ocean views when you drive along the scenic drive to the south of the town.

Jetty.

Colours of Autumn.

Autumn colours at the Mount Loft Botanical Gardens in the Adelaide hills during 2008. It was a quick trip with limited time there before work after seeing some pictures in the daily newspaper during the morning. Next year we will be ready for the change of colour and will spend the day there with the cameras.

Pink Roadhouse Oodnadatta

It looks a little worse for wear, but the Pink Roadhouse at Oodnadatta on the Oodnadatta track in the outback of South Australia must have been hit by a strong wind shortly before we arrive there in August 2008. While the outside looked a little rough, in interior was what one would expect in an isolated location of the outback.

Arno Bay

Up early to capture this sunrise at Arno Bay on the eastern side of Eyre Peninsula South Australia where it was followed by a perfect day. We were on our way home to Adelaide from Port Lincoln when we spent the night here in the Caravan Park at Arno Bay.

The old Telegraph Station at Alice Springs in the Northern Territory can be found just north of Alice Spring where guided tours are offered which will explain what the people endured so many years ago to establish and maintain communication in the vast outback of Australia.

Out driving during a weekend visit to Wallaroo South Australia, we came across this beach at Balgowan South Australia. The sand is firm enough to allow vehicles to drive along the coast. The day started of with light rain but by the time we had reached Balgowan, the sky was starting to break up allowing the water to gain some rich blue colour.

Pinnacle Lookout.

One of Australia's great places to visit would have to be the Grampians situated in the state of Victoria. This photo was taken from the Pinnacle Lookout which has magnificent view of the township of Halls Gap. A level of fitness is required to allow the hiker to safely climb to this lookout, but well worth the effort once you have reached it.

Fun on the Beach

Nothing like a free run on the beach to keep fit. The only problem here is that they don't get on the beach as often as they would like. The fur was being pushed to the right of the screen, not by the speed of their running but by the force of the wind blowing all weekend.

More Desert Colours.

Following on from the sand dune image with the red tone, here is another one which has the sandy yellow tone. This result was gained by having the sun in front of the camera lens during the middle of the day.

Simpson Desert

After a trip to the Simpson Desert in the top end of South Australia during late August of 2008, we enjoyed many days and nights on the road exploring the vast outback. It was amazing to watch the sand colours change from a yellow to a rich red as seen here by this red tone. This photo was taken with the early sunrise to my back.
