Gondwana Stars Sky

A colourful sky over the Gondwana Stars Observatory as the clouds clear for a spectacular night of stargazing.

Bacterial Mats

One thing that surprised me about Yellowstone was the different lifeforms that occupied the hot and steamy waters that bubbled out of the Earth's crust. This is one small example of a mat of colourful bacteria that happily live on the fringe of a geyser pool. There are so many colours of bacteria and each colour indicates a species of bacteria that can thrive at different temperatures.

Colourful Scene

A very colourful scene at the conclusion of the race as the jockeys dismount.
