Flinders Ranges, South Australia, 21 August 2016
.
This is on last morning of the Flinders Ranges workshop, and then the drive back to Adelaide (to catch a plane).
.
The first four images are from our last morning at the Flinders Ranges workshop. We are wandering around not far from Merna Mora Station. This one may look like the mountains reflected in a lake but it’s actually a ditch rather than a lake.
.
.
.
This image would probably look quite different to someone who is red/ green colourblind.
.
Keith Seidel walking towards us along the road past Merna Mora Station.
.
I was concerned about catching the plane on time so I did not stop often in the way back to Adelaide. Here is a series of images from the one place I did stop.

Flinders Ranges, South Australia, 20 to 21 August 2016
.
This is on the sixth day of the Flinders Ranges workshop.
.
It was a grey early morning…
.
… but still some dramatic clouds.
.
Then the sun came up as we headed towards Brachina Gorge, hoping to see some more yellow-footed rock wallabies.
.
This is now inside Brachina Gorge.
.
Peaks and streaks…
.
We saw a lone wallaby some distance away on the rocks.
(All the wallaby images are taken on a tripod with a 300mm f2.8 lens plus 1.4x teleconverter, then well cropped in.)
.
And there were two in a different place.
.
Actually, that was three and now there is four.
You may need to click on the image for a larger view if you can’t see the head of the joey poking out from its mother’s pouch.
.
“… so I jumped into the car and drove it away….”
.
.
.
There’s a tail poking out of the pouch now.
.
Time to chase the interloper away….
.
This is now late in the afternoon. I think we might be along the Moralana Track.
.
.
.
I found a nice tree with a bird’s next in it, silhouetted against the landscape.
.
And then, so did a couple of other photographers…
.
.
.
Windmills and late afternoon light.
.
Lone tree in the sunset.
.
.
.
Next morning we all left the workshop. This is looking towards Wilpena Pound at the side of the road, on my way to Adelaide.
One more infrared post to go, then a few mono posts.

Flinders Ranges, South Australia, 20 August 2016
.
This is on sixth day of the Flinders Ranges workshop ..
.
This is in the morning, somewhere near Merna Mora Station. You know what they say about red skies in the morning.
.
Several hours later we are now at Brachina Gorge (as for all the following images except the last one).
.
This section of tress has been severely affected by crown of thorns starfish. Having polished off the Great Barrier Reef and bleached all the coral, aided by agricultural and industrial runoff, climate change and government neglect, they undertook the long crawl to South Australia.
.
Something seemed different about the landscape that morning.
.
Or maybe it was just the aftereffects of all that red wine the night before.
.
This is the road through the enchanted landscape.
.
.
.
Eucalypts in their autumn colours high up on the hills.
.
A quiet corner, somehow almost like a Japanese garden.
.
Bare trees pointing to the sky on the distant peaks.
.
Maybe there were psychedelics in that wine.
.
And finally, here we are out the back of Parachilna.
.
