PHOTOGRAPHS

Part of the Breakaways at Coober Pedy





















This is the night sky about 10 to 15 minutes after the sun had set!


See the earlier photo and compare the colours.  This is taken on sunset while the earlier one was during the day


The very cute little lizard at the Marla South Camp


Our campsite at the Marla South Camp


The rhino on a stick!!!


Raymond and Hazel feeding the curious and hungry emu at Curtin Springs.  We started calling it "E Mu" so Raymond gave it the name Edward


Mount Connor


Both of us with Ayers Rock in the background. Taken at the Vehicle Sunset Viewing area


Ayers Rock / Uluru shortly before sunset


Unfortunately the quality isn't the best as it was taken on my iPhone but this is part of the way into the gorge at The Olgas.  The trees you can see are full size trees so this will give an idea of the height of the walls of the gorge


The Olgas taken from the roadside on our way there


On our approach to The Olgas


This is the view of about the first third of the first leg of the Kings Canyon Rim Walk


This is taken from the bottom of the first leg of the walk - the tiny figures in the picture are Royce and Hazel and they are about 1/3rd the way up


Royce part way up the killer first leg!


Taken from about half way up - almost there!


This and the photos to follow are just some of the spectacular scenery we saw at Kings Canyon while doing the Rim Walk.






Can you see the frog?


The colours are amazing and it is incredible how resilient and strong some of the plants are!








Mereenie Sandstone cliffs that look like they have been cut off with a very sharp knife


On the home leg!


The 2 very cute baby camels recently captured - at the Kings Creek Station

  2. Hi halo! Sorry I haven't responded to your comment until now. I managed to get a photo of Royce and Kate together but it was quite late and no-one appeared to be in the mood for photos. Just means we will have to go back again!
