Heading North

Outback Australia

Folder: Australia
6-800kilometers inland from Adelaide, in the remote North of South Australia. This is the red desert heart of my country,where distances are vast and inhabitants are few. The colours and landscapes are breath-taking. Rainfall is almost nil...Australia is the driest continent in the world. There are huge salt lakes, which occasionally fill, and the odd billabong(waterhole), like an oasis, where cre…  (read more)

Silverton. 19th century silver mining town...near Broken Hill in outback Australia. Very little remains now of a large community. "Mad Max" was filmed here. It used to have 6 churches, many houses, a school and was quite a large community once, before the mine dried up.

Australia. This is about 1000 kilometres from anywhere in Central Australia. The Great Central Road is an unsealed (red dirt) Australian outback highway that runs 1,126 km (700 mi) from Laverton, Western Australia to Yulara, Northern Territory (near Uluru/Ayers Rock). It passes through a number of minuscule indigenous desert communities on the way. Have a wonderful weekend, with happy snapping!

And NO swimming. Far North Queensland river crossing . No swimming in this idyllic tropical water...danger of being eaten by crocodiles. One of the ironies of Northern Australia The saltwater crocodiles are large, aggressive and kill a few people a year.....they move up coastal rivers, quite a distance from the ocean.

Paddy melons on the roadside in desert Western Australia, in the Murchison region. The road is the red dirt on the right hand top of the picture. Paddy melons are not edible for humans.....They thrive in desert areas Nothing eats them: they are poisonous. A nice decoration for the desert...and Tiabunna tells me they are a feral import from South Africa. They have certainly colonised Australia well!
