A Sunset.


I thought it was time to have a change from the all the wild life pics. We're waiting for the wet season to arrive so we can see, and hopefully capture some great lightning displays.

It was fun watching these scoot around the mud and the water at Port Stewart yesterday.

Yellow Bird.

Country Airstrip.


This is a private cattle station airstrip, which is being used until the main strip is rebuilt. We had to drive around it to make sure there were no cattle lurking. The raised bits are ant hills.
