The cobwebIandsmith
Bluebird day for a run in Royal NPOsik
I was doing a house sit in the Dungog area and had to take dogs for a walk on a daily basis. The fields and forest used to be lovely first thing in the morning and after I captured this image I tweaked it a fraction to make the cobweb stand out, as it was when I viewed it in the surreal lighting conditions.

Often luck plays a part in getting bird shots if you don't do it full time. I noticed the grevillea moving and had my camera ready when he popped his head up. It was the only shot I took. Other days I've spend hours and shot nothing as good.

The Coast never disappointsJohn Walker
Having visited the West MacDonnell Ranges a few times before, the great Mount Giles was an unfulfilled destination.
It is the third highest peak in the Northern Territory and promised a grand outlook over a very wild country. So it was a great factor in accepting an invitation to a remote walk in the area with someone very familiar with the place. It was a very warm August day when we headed out, first through some burnt country and then off track across a typically rocky landscape.
The sight of Giles ahead caused two reactions - a thrill that I might actually get there, and the relief of knowing that there was water in them thar hills.
We were definitely getting away from it all.

Winter is arid lands or snow. Last year, it was back to the Centre and the Flinders Ranges; the latter to check out part of the long distance Heysen Trail. It covers everything from coast through forest and farm to high rocky ridges. The stretch across the Yourambulla Range is possibly the best of it, and there are few better places to watch the sunrise.

Four-leaf clovers and inadvertent selfieRibuck
At the back end of my wanderings in the Ormiston Pound area, I setup camp at the second waterhole in Bowmans Gap.
Enjoying the solitude, I was amazed to see a small vivid red bird walking along the creek bed intently looking for insects on the plants. It seemed quite oblivious to my nearby presence, giving me time to access my telephoto lens. (It's nice but rare for birds to do that.) I looked it up later: it's called a Crimson Chat, and unlike many small birds, it walks around rather than hopping.

It was my first time at The Walls of Jerusalem and this was my last night there. I almost missed the sunset, but had marked out a good panoramic spot earlier that day at the top of the saddle (Jaffa Gate) that looked north east down into the Valley of Hinom - where I was heading off to the following day.

The AbyssRibuck
Even old women can enjoy puerile humour. The Heysen Trail enters (or leaves) Wilpena Pound via Bridle Gap. Standing above the gap is a neat rocky lump with the delightful name of Dick Nob. Who could resist that? So the pack was dropped immediately upon arriving at the campsite, and up I went, getting there just in time for the sunset, which was a doozy.
