Ancient Lands

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

Outback Sunsets

Outback sunsets are indeed the best - one can see all the way to the horizon. Did I mention how much I love outback sunsets already?

Outback Dunny View

A great view for an outback dunny on a station west of Winton.

A visit to Winton involves several hours of expansive outback driving when transferring from Longreach.

Longreach

Welcome to Longreach.

The Hills

Back in Mount Isa after many weeks away for various reasons and I thought I needed an Outback photo to refresh my memory of home. So I went exploring in the hills south of town and took this shot of some hills blushing in the warm sunset.

Dinosaur Stampede National Monument

Inifinity

An endless variety of lighting conditions in the outback makes for all manner of character to be found in the same scene.

Open Mine Shafts

The danger is real out here.

Sunsets

The sunsets in Outback Queensland need no filters to enhance them.

Rover Tracks

The outback tracks to rove around are great exploring in the outback.

Outback Scene

A wonderful sight to be seen in the outback, and a wonderful memory of the Big Red Bash.

Sunset, Sunset, Sunset, Sunsets

The endless beautiful sunsets of the Australian Outback here in Mount Isa. If you sang the title of this post, you must know the band Powderfinger, it is the chorus of one of their famous songs.

Saturated Sunset

Saturday's sunset over the city of Mount Isa. The colours are exaggerated and the dynamic range is extended by stacking three exposures. However, the sunset was a spectacular outback affair.

Trees With Cloud

In the outback one always finds surprising pieces of artwork waiting to be observed.

Birdsville Races

Queensland's most famous outback race meeting at Birdsville. A short seven hour drive south of the Isa brings you to this racetrack where a Mount Isa horse won the local race.
