Low Water

Water Level

The water level in Mount Isa's Lake Moondarra is a long way down. If I can read this sign correctly, it is approximately 4.5 metres below full capacity. That is around 30% left.  We need rain in the Isa.

In The Distance

Rodeo Ball Sunset Session

The outback makes some of the most stunningly photogenic outdoor scenes for photographers. This was my first attempt at shooting photos with human subjects. I can report that the experiment was successful. Thank you to S.A. and JL.C. for permission to use the photo.
