West MacDonnell Ranges – The Red Centre

It took some time but The Doc has finished his Guide on the West MacDonnell Ranges. The Guide starts and finishes at Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The Guide is here.

You can then do the East MacDonnell Ranges, that Guide is here.

The Guide on the West MacDonnell Ranges has detailed maps, location notes and images. The number of images meant The Doc had to use high compression and so there are some artefacts in some images. It is a very detailed Guide. You could easily spend 2 or 3 weeks doing the West MacDonnell Ranges and another week doing the East MacDonnell Ranges.

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.

Cape York revisited

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

Nesting Bee-eaters at Lennox Head

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.
