Devil’s Marbles revisited
The Doc reprocessed some images from his Northern Territory trip, since he cannot travel due to treatment. This time the Devils Marbles south of Tennant Creek. A few image this time. Click on any image to see the slideshow, enjoy.
Arnhem Land Revisited – medium format style
The Doc took two cameras on the helicopter, including a Pentax 645Z Medium format camera. The Pentax gives massive files which The Doc can crop how he wishes. The files have eye watering details, not always appreciated when you can only post small images on a blog.
The Pentax renders very accurate colours, more so than the Canon 1DX which was the other camera used. These images are a very accurate representation on what you see from the helicopter.
To be precise, these images are from the West Arnhem Region.
Vista RV Crossover van picked up
The van has been picked up and placed in storage. Trip here (The Doc started the data logger at Benalla).
Van on the way home.
No trips for the moment as lots of medical appointments over the next few months.
The round trip was 2,675kms and The Doc was tired for a couple of days after the trip. He thinks it was the amount of kilometers over those days – more than he usually does when traveling in that period. Another thing The Doc needs to factor in after the accident. The list just seems to grow and grow.
Road trip to pick up the Vista RV Crossover starts
The trip can be tracked here. If the track does not properly display, select a time period on the top right of the screen, The Doc suggest 7 days. See the screenshot below, from the SPOT ON tacker site.
Bullo River Station Report finished
The longest report The Doc has done for an AWC Supporter’s Event. Lots of photos and an amazing experiences here.
The Mighty Joab
At Bullo River Station we got to see the Mighty Joab, the largest boab The Doc has seen in Australia. More coming in the full Bullo River Station Report.
The Doc’s AWC adventures – a summary
The Doc has drafted a page about his AWC adventures over the last 15 years. Over 30 sanctuary visits to volunteer, visit or take part in Supporter’s Events. Over 20 different sanctuaries visited all over Australia.
Plus, other AWC activities, like scanning slides, getting stickers on The Doc’s car and meets ups in the field. Still a work in progress, but lots of links and images here.
Bullo River Station report still being worked on. It will be added when complete. Some amazing images from that trip.
Location of images taken on Bullo River Station
The Doc just mapped the images he took on Bullo River Station, as he selects some images for the forthcoming Bullo River Station Report. The very rough figure 8 was the helicopter trip. The big muddy river on the top right is the Victoria River. The Bullo River is covered by pink picture makers coming out of the Victoria River, top right also.
Bullo River Cruise
At the recent AWC Supporter Event at Bullo River Station we had small groups doing guided tours along the Bullo River, with a cold breakfast supplied (fresh fruit, quiche, yogurt, nuts, freshly squeezed OJ and muffins).
A few images are below. Click on an image to see a slideshow at full size. Enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.
The Doc is still writing the longer Bullo report.
