Today’s selection of photos from Western Australia include some excellent (if I do say so myself) images from the Violet Valley area of the east Kimberley region. The area includes significant ranges of mountains and abounds with water, deepish valleys and beautiful spinifex and grass covered expanses which are impossible not to love.

This wallaby decided to give us an example of how it climbs.

The waterhole at Simpsons Gap still has water in it 8 months after the last decent rain.
The colour of the pinnacle at Simpsons Gap is amazing as the sunsets. It is impossible to do the view justice.

So at the moment I am in Broome for work and I thought I would take a few photos of the area while I am here.
Today I went out to explore the mountain bike trails at Daisy Hill Conservation Park for the first time. It is 5 days since it last rained so I thought that there would be a bit of mud lying around but that the tracks would generally be dry enough to ride. How wrong I was…. It turns out that the tracks at Daisy Hill hold water like nowhere else, despite […]
Graeme took some amazing photos with his handy cam. In he future he will be producing a DVD with his special ABC voice-overs, but for the moment here are his best five photos.
So last week I spent the week in Alice Spring and did a trip out to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. I did a tour with Emu Run and I have to admit it was pretty awesome so I would recommend it if you are heading out there. I might write up a full description later, but here are some photographic highlights.
It was a wet and windy weekend and all through the house chilly drafts filled every corner. The alarm stirred two sleepy figures who opened their eyes, mumbled a few words about how terrible it was and rolled over to go back to sleep. Ten minutes later one figure sat bolt upright and declared that it was time to go riding! Our plans for the weekend we’re fairly simple. We […]
While out riding the other day I snapped this shot of what sunset does to the Brisbane sky line. The shot is taken from Mt Cootha.
Today I set out with the aim of exploring several of south east Brisbane’s major bike ways, in particular the SE Freeway Bike Way and the Bulimba Creek Cycleway. These two cycle ways let me ride about 35km with only short sections of back street to link them up. All in all it was a successful little exploration. Along the way there were a number of interesting occurances that I […]
