Bug

A brightly coloured insect walks along the Lake Moondarra overflow wall oblivious to the enormous volume of water which the wall under its feet safely contains.

To The Brim

Yep, Moondarra is definitely full to the brim with water.

A Lake View

Lake Moondarra at almost full capacity.

Trackside Tree

A tree on the side of a bush track.

Water Crossing

One should always be careful with water crossings.  This one looks very still and harmless, however on closer inspection was found to be just over knee deep.  Not something you want to drive into without the right vehicle.

Happy Australia Day

Some recent rains around Mount Isa have caused some of the smaller creeks to flow. This creek is on the way to East Leichhardt dam and makes for a nice cascade.

Gone Batty

Look very closely at the dark spots in this photo and you might see something unexpected. A small colony of micro-bats at the poison waterhole.

Sun Rock

Sun Rock with a nearly empty waterhole. The waterhole was guarded by an old bull who refused to move from his prime spot on some damp, shady sand.

Random Perambulator

As I ambled up Telstra Hill I came across this pram randomly abandoned by the road. It made me wonder how it had come to be left here.

Mary K

The old open cut affectionately known as Mary K after the Mary Kathleen township that was nearby.  It used to supply uranium ore, or yellow cake.  I've visited here several times in the past, but this time I think I got a photo to do the view justice.
