Frog Falls

Another new frog I had not seen before at the Rigby Falls gorge. This is a true froggery of species, possibly a Northern Snapping Frog.

Rigby View

A view from the top of Rigby Falls down into the valley below where a shower dampens the once dusty and dry soil. There is so much green out here after only a small amount of rain.

Golden Rock

The golden light of sunrise hits the orange rock of Rigby Falls gorge at dawn.

Rigby Frog

Another green frog from Rigby Falls. This one is much smaller than the last, and looks rather lean. The waterhole is shrinking as the trickle of water slowly dwindles.

Moonlit Falls

The moonlight illuminates the small stream of water at Rigby Falls while the sky appears blue due to the full moon's light.

Orion Tree

Green Frog

A green frog at the Rigby Falls gorge. How these green frogs turn up every year after the dry is truly incredible.

Stars Align

This is a preview of a photo I've been waiting for ever since I bought my first wide angle f2.8 lens several years ago. The conditions tonight have almost come together perfectly. First, there needs to be very recent rains to make the falls flow, then you need a cloudless sky to see the stars, and then, you need a quarter Moon to illuminate the cliffs and waterfall. Only one of those conditions is missing here, the Moon. However, it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the conjunction of those conditions. Tonight, this photo came close.

Chasing Waterfalls

Some recent light rains have fallen on the plains above Rigby Falls.

Rock

Some smooth rock at Rigby Falls that has been worn by water each time the rains fall. Unfortunately there has been no wet season this year, or last, to help continue the polishing of the rock.

Rigby Visit

Rigby falls this year has not had sufficient rainfall to show off its full glory. But it is still a great place to visit.

Fifth Birthday Post

It took me a while to decide what photo I would share on the fifth birthday of my Outback Rover blog. In the end it was simple, go with the photo of my favourite location. And this is it. Rigby falls.
One has to be lucky to catch this place in its full water soaked beauty. The opportunity to see this view only happens a few times a year during a suitable wet season. This was from 2009, my first visit to the falls.

Rigby Trickle

After recent rains I headed to Rigby Falls to see if it was running.  Unfortunately little rain had fallen in the catchment area.
