Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby

Digging deep into the The Doc’s secret archives comes a variety of images of Australia’s most beautiful macropod, the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby. The Doc has posted a few in the past, but none of these images.

The Doc revisited his Cape York images – the 4 Day Helicopter trip around Cape York that is. Bungie was the copter pilot. Enjoy.

Kakadu & Arnhem Land waterfalls

The Doc had a very good response to the last sets images. So he reviewed more photos from his 4 day helicopter trip around Kakadu and Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. It has been almost 3 years since that trip but the images bring back wonderful memories.

The theme this time is waterfalls, some famous like Jim Jim Falls and others nameless. All with good water flow after the wet season.

A second instalment on gorges and rivers will follow. Nick, the helicopter pilot, is in one of the images. The next set of images will have the trusty steed, the Robinson R44 helicopter!

Arnhem Land escarpment

Arnhem Land, Australia, Landscape, mountains, Northern Territory, NT, Uncategorised

There is a massive escarpment in Arnhem Land that divides most of Arnhem Land up on the plateau from the smaller coastal part. Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls are examples of water flowing off the escarpment in Kakadu National Park. It is rarely shown.

During my helicopter trip over Arnhem Land and Kakadu I flew along the escarpment. Here are some images, the escapement is HUGE (especially in a helicopter about 100m away.)

Nesting Bee-eaters at Lennox Head

Australia, Ballina, birds, NSW, States, Wildlife

Bee-eaters dig a whole in the sand in the ground, this time on a fire trail. They catch insects and come to this perch, then they fly down to the nest on the ground. The nest looks like a large ghost crab hole in the sand.

Choosing a cold shoe

Australia, flash

If you use off camera flash you probably need a good quality cold shoe to mount it on a lightstand. The Doc has written a Guide on choosing a cold shoe here. All the links were updated today.

The Guide to choosing an umbrella flash bracket can be found here.
