Although I had a small 'pocket' camera with me, I was glad I took my SLR as well - I think I would have been a fish out of water without it.
These pictures continue from the last Central Australia post. The images from the Heavitree Ridge walk are taken from the second day of the walk. Although this area had been burnt, it was one of the more remarkable landscapes I have walked in.
A few people have asked questions, so yes it was hard under foot, but decent boots overcame that (until I tripped over on the last but one day!) and although the area was very dry, it was also generally cool and pleasant in the days and cold (and wonderful) at night. We only carried day sac and a sense of adventure.

ReplyDeleteWild, wide land... YAM xx
Oh my...! How harsh and wild...
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like those trees gripping on to the side o the gorge. I find it scary to think that this might be the landscape for future generations if we don't tackle climate changse.
ReplyDeleteAmazing countryside and one can only imagine what it was like millions of years before. Things seem to be changing much faster now with our weather change, I wonder what it will be like in only hundreds of years!!! Interesting post. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteAll of this is what makes Australia unique isn't it? It is a landscape that is at the same time both harsh and beautiful, i am sure that your experience of it will be etched into your consciousness forever.
ReplyDeleteWow and wow.
ReplyDeleteOur planet is an amazing place...continually in motion and change.
It always amazes me to see trees growing in seemingly impossible places!
ReplyDeleteLove the tenacity of those trees growing out of the rock face. What a dramatic place to explore!
ReplyDeleteFascinating landscape. What a great place for a wander!
ReplyDeleteInteresting "landscape"..Rather rugged..There must be some fossils in there somewhere..Those trees are amazing..I guess they'll grow anywhere..
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so dry and a little scorched :( ....I do love the fossil...what a great find.
