Peace and tranquility

Australian outback.

Dry river bed.

Tranquil scenes in the Australia outback.

Yesterday I drove to Innaminka S.A. to take one of the ringers to visit the flying doctor. The trip was very scenic, and Innaminka was an interesting little town, consisting of a pub and service station and accomadation, and very friendly people.This image was taken just after we crossed the S.A boarder  back into Qld.

Am I a bird or a bat?

Yesterday I noticed all these Galahs having a drink in the horses trough, and then I noticed this one hanging upside down.

Galahs are an Australian native parrot, they are very intelligent and clever and have great personalities, cheeky and naughty but very cute.

 

The Australian outback blooms in to colour.

I’m watching you.

The desert garden.

The desert comes alive.

The desert in the channel country has come alive, dotted with yellow,white and purple flowers. Whilst driving from Woomanooka to Durham station,scattered throughout the endless view, nature has created gardens of flowers where water was laying not so long ago.

Dingo near my door.

Sorry the image is so bad, but it was very early and still dark, the stars were still out, I had to use a really high ISO and the flash on my camera and hope the dingo didnt disapear before I was able to get the camera.

I was aprox 30 metres away and it just stood there staring at me and was in no hurry to go away.

The 3 little pigs chased it away, (my good little guard pigs) it is getting very game to get as close as it got.
