Great image for the wall or even in a tourist magazine Phil. Beautiful shot.

[Ozzie_Traveller]

Thx Isac - one of the advantages of the motorhome is the ability to stay "out" overnight so that I can get really early morning pics the next day. Phil

[Isac]

Too early for me Phil.

Harsh light there Phil - dark shadows are killing the detail. Could do with some TLC editing?

Nice one Phil - White-bellied Sea-Eagle. I've only ever seen one. It just perched on a branch and looked on as we as we attended a send off on the beach, for my young nephew. They are awesome creatures. Lovely capture.

Fabulous shot of the dingo. I'm lucky to see the pure breeds at Kaarakin regularly. Did you Monitor the Bungarra's movements for a while? Lovely portrait.

[Ozzie_Traveller]

Hi Isac- yes we watched the goanna for 30 or so minutes while we had a very decent lunch, cooked by the tour guide ... along with several glasses of red, along with a good tour of the island, with a special sunset thrown in on the boat back to the mainland

Thanks Phil. Now I'm salivating.

#46,46,48, 2014- The Gulflander Railway

I don't mind a good railway pic Phil. Look to be a pretty relaxed event.

#49,50, 2015- Panos from outback W.A.

a) Part of the 'great inland sea' of millenia ago, now eroded to mesas fading into the mist


b) typical gravel-surfaced road well into the outback
Quite okay for 80km/h driving x the 200+km length of road, in this case to a tiny place called Marble Bar, a town that recorded "The greatest heat wave of all time" ~ daily temperatures exceeding 100F / 38C for 160 consecutive days, way back in 1923-24

[Isac]

2 good panos Phil. Marble Bar quite often gets awarded the hottest temp on the daily TV weather reports. Nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there.
