Of course we all know that the camera never lies.  If sometimes images look different to what we may have thought, this is because the camera knows better.  For example, it can show us what all the colours were really like.  Our brain controls how we see and sometimes it doesn’t work well enough.  Then if we go back and look again, this is what we may see.

We are now at the red-hot landscape beside Macquarie Harbour.  It may not be safe to land..

A radiarming storm is coming.  The forests are bleached.  Be wary of giant Crown of Thorns Spiders.  Better not stay in the Top World too long.

The thin film of gold on the water might be providence or pollution.

We’re getting closer to the Gordon River now.  Some of the eucalypts are starting to turn to their autumn colours.

There’s the entrance of the Gordon River up ahead.
