When The Doc visited Mornington Wilderness Camp he took quite a few panoramas of Sir John Gorge, Fitzroy Bluff and also some sunsets. He has now stitched many of those together. Enjoy (remember to click on thumbnails to see full size.)

The outstanding textures of Boudii National Park is the sandstone, but the barks aren’t bad either. Enjoy.
The Doc has wanted to visit and photograph the sandstone here for some time, with no success (one or two failed attempts). So he booked 2 nights at Copcabana this week to visit and take photographs.
Here, the sandstone made up of tessellated pavement and Liesegang rings. They do not fully understand how these rings occur, but they do occur in sedimentary rock with a cross cut pattern. Iron and other minerals must be present creating the patterns. The is a heavy iron layer in this rock, you can see iron oxide or rust layers when the iron is exposed to water and oxygen.
Technically “there is a precipitation process that is thought to be the catalyst for Liesegang ring formation referred to as the Ostwald-Liesegang supersaturation-nucleation-depletion cycle.” OK?
A small selection of the spectacular sandstone.
Putty Beach also has a nice rock platform with some large waves. This place must be spectacle in heavy surf, as it was great with minimal waves. Enjoy.
Some more wildflowers from North Head. Enjoy.
The Doc visited North Head (near Manly) today to photograph the wildflowers. Here is a selection.
The Doc has been making the most of spring flowers. A few more from the shared driveway. Click on images to see full size, the thumbnails are blurred.

Another tree from Cocos Islands, the Sea Almond. A rare treat indeed, a tropical plant that is deciduous.
The Doc will work on a Cocos Island report, but his is some colours and textures of coconut palms. Enjoy.
The Doc hiked at AWC’s Paruna Sanctuary about an hours drive out of Perth. It is one of AWC’s smaller properties.
The Doc walked around Possum Loop, the shortest walk. He took about 3 hours practising macro photos.
After the walk The Doc located Karakamia and then had a pub lunch at Chidlow a nearby town. That night he was booked for a Guided Tour of Karakamia.
Here are landscape photographs around the loop.
Here are a few more flora and wildflower photos. Enjoy. Remember the thumbnails are blurred, click to see the full size image.
