The small plane flight took us over Anna Creek Station, Lake Eyre and The Painted Hills. Perhaps the highlight of the flight. They have extraordinary colours and textures.
The following images were sharpened, resized and a bit of saturation was added. That is about it. Enjoy.
The fifth instalment of Textures of the Australian Bush covers Lake Eyre. Enjoy.
The fourth instalment of Textures of the Australian Bush covers Anna Creek Station. Anna Creek Station is the largest Cattle Station (Ranch) in the world. Enjoy.
Managed to use back roads to get to White Cliffs. Main roads all blocked. Staying at the Underground Motel for the last night of the Simpson Desert trip.
Now have access to black top, so may need to come home early with all the road closures.
Managed to stay ahead of road closures out of Innamincka, but now trapped at Tibooburra. It is raining out here.
A taste of Lake Eyre from the plane. Plenty more to come.
Another one.
51 years ago a G60 Patrol completed the first motorised crossing of the Mighty Simpson Desert. Today The Doc completed his crossing in the GU Patrol, as part of a larger group. We at least had a track, the original party did not. That is an achievement.
The Simpson is Patrol country.
A map of the trip do far, from Broken Hill, NSW to Birdsville, Qld. The “diversions” around Lake Eyre was the plane flight. Some cracker images from that flight.
Some grubs vandalised the Patrol overnight, the day before The Doc goes on the Simpson Desert trip. Some tie down straps were slashed and some butane gas stolen. It could have been worse. Hope to fix the issues today.
All fixed now.
The giant mullock heap at the BHP mine at Broken Hill opened all sorts of possibilities today. So a third instalment of Textures of the Australian Bush, this time on Rock and Minerals, enjoy.
The second instalment of Textures of the Australian Bush covers bark, enjoy.
