Yellow-footed rock wallaby

I was tracking Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies at their colony in Brachina Gorge in the Flinders Ranges. I had walked up a steep incline to follow the wallabies, the female with the joey hopped over the top of the ridge and I thought it was over for the day. A minute of two later the female and joey came back and took a second look and seemingly said good bye before she hopped away.

These wallabies are something to behold when they hop across cliff faces like a kangaroo on flat ground.

This is sunrise at West End Bay, Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island (KI).

The Doc waited 2 1/2 weeks for a decent sunrise on KI. When it came it was a cracker. It was hard to post process this image, as I could only make very subtle changes or it looked fake.

About 9 years ago a large wildfire burnt out over 80% of the National Park. The fire was so intense that many of the mature trees were killed. There is now a double canopy, the dead upper layer and the regrowing green layer (actually black in this image). Click on image to see correct size.

One last hurrah – farewell New Zealand

Landscape, mountains, New Zealand, Queenstown, South Island, Southern Alps, Uncategorised

The Doc is now back home, but New Zealand put on last show before he left.

While travelling from Lake Wanaka to Queenstown along the Cardrona Valley Highway you climb into the Crown Range. As he climbed out of Cardrona Township The Doc could see snow, then more snow and it became apparent there had been a heavy fall overnight. So when The Doc reached the summit fresh snow was everywhere, but luckily not over the road. Enjoy:
