Desert

Somewhere in western NSW, a desert.

Ancient Lands

The ancient lands, cap rock and trees of the Australian Outback.

Flower

A very pretty flower in the desert heat of Winton, outback Queensland.

Camp Dinner

A camp dinner in the desert cooked on a Snowpeak Firepit, spectacular.

Raining Fire

As this storm cloud drops some precipitation on the desert plains, the sunset colours make it appear to rain down fire on the land.

Chasing Waterfalls

One of the rare waterfalls that occurs in the Australian outback desert. The falls at Watarrka were running this year after a recent and unseasonal wet.

Desert Art

A mud and watercolour painting by million year old desert sands on a Landrover canvas.

Nocturnal Tracks

The trails of desert animals in the morning sand, left in the nocturnal hours while tourists remain at camp.

Opal Bug

The opal bug in Coober Pedy. A strange little town, reminiscent of a Mad Max scene.

Dry As A Desert Creek

A very dry creek bed indeed.

Flow

The pleasant flow of water over stones is one of the most beautiful sounds to be heard anywhere on Earth. Here in a drought ridden desert, it is even more special.

Sand Grains

Dubai dunes, yep, they just go on as far as the eye can see. This was a photo stop on a dune desert safari with www.arabian-adventures.com. I highly recommend the tour if you wish to see some desert dunes and meet some wonderful people along the way.

Lake In The Sand

A shallow lake behind the Big Red Sand Dune near Birdsville. It was the last thing I expected to see in this desert.

Ships Of The Desert

During my sleep at Lily campsite some ships of the desert passed silently in the night.  I awoke to find that I had been visited by some camels and all I got was this photo of their footprints.

Desert Scene

This is in the Lark Quarry Conservation Park. It is a wonderful desert.
