Rainbow Bee-Eater

The Rainbow Bee-Eater is a spectacular bird. With its green, blue, chestnut and yellow plumage, its slim build, slender curved bill and distinctive streamers that extend from the end of its tail, it is simply beautiful

Ringtailed Dragon

This little dragon visited our campsite in Arnhem Land. I'm not sure, but I think it's a ringtailed dragon

Flying Ducks

I took this silhouette photo of flying ducks and thought it calls for a black and white photo

The Devil's Marbles

The “Marbles” have been formed over millions of years by the act of erosion and rise up out of the desert scenery in a surreal display of granite – kind of like a natural art exhibition. Each boulder comes in a different size, ranging from between 50 centimetres to six metres across. Perhaps the most amazing part of the scene is that many of the huge stones are balanced on top of each other, seeming to defy gravity. Even today, they are continuously evolving in a constant stream of cracking and erosion. This is a panorama of 56 photos taken with my Nikon D500 and 200-500mm lens.

Loch Ard Gorge

Loch Ard Gorge is the site of the most famous shipwreck on the aptly named Shipwreck Coast. The Loch Ard ran aground crashing into Mutton Bird Island in 1878. The only two survivors Tom Pearce and Eva Carmichael managed to drag themselves to the safety of the beach inside Loch Ard Gorge

Superb Fairy-wren

This male superb fairy-wren is probably one of the most beautiful birds I've seen. It is incredible how bright the colours are.

Tom and Eva

The history behind the Tom and Eva Lookout is quite a sad one. The two rocks are named after Tom and Eva, the only two survivors of a shipwreck. The Loch Ard clipper ship was sailing from England to Melbourne in 1878 when it ran aground in the shallow waters along this coastline. There were 54 people on board and only two survived. 19 year old Tom was an sailor’s apprentice, he jumped from the ship as it sank and swam to the shore. When he made it to land, he heard a woman shouting for help. Eva was in the water so he jumped in and dragged her to shore. She was an Irish woman emigrating to Melbourne with her family.

The Razorback

The Port Campbell National Park is world famous for its incredible limestone formations that have found their form after millions of years of erosion. Whether it’s the unique and majestic 12 Apostles, the picturesque Loch Ard Gorge or the surreal Grotto, this section of the Great Ocean Road is an unforgettable visit for nature lovers! One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park, the Razorback is easily accessible when viewing another one of the park’s wonders – the Tom and Eva rock formations.

Noisy Miner

A very busy, diffcult to photograph, bird I saw in the Outback of South Australia. I'm not completely sure, but it looks like a noisy miner.

Camel

Camels were first introduced into Australia from the Canary Islands in 1840. There are now over one million feral camels in Australia and that population may double in size every nine years. Feral camels are found across Central Australia and in the Victoria River District regions.
