Yes, I have finished in Kimberley, and am now in the Pilbara area of WA Basicly the mining area- mostly iron ore. It is flat, dusty, windy and mostly salt flats. Not pretty, in fact landscapes are difficult. I have been taking some photos of "mining gear". If no one else, my grandsons will appreciate the machinery.!!!
I have replaced my laptop, so is really great, in such an isolated area to have my Skype going again and Lightroom. Thanks to my little bro!!!!! No photos were lost in the crash -most were on an external hard drive luckily.
This machinery has the look of several dinosaurs .
This area is challenging to live in- very prone to cyclones.As a consequence town is 90% single storied, also no trees of any size....
There are the longest trains in Oz here dragging iron ore to the port to be loaded onto ships. All day and night there is the constant rumble of trains heading to port, or rattling on their return journey.
As you can guess not a lot of pluses(++++), but there is one I am going to spend some time pursuing. We are staying in a camping ground here, nearby there is a long beach. It is the time of year for turtles to come ashore to lay their eggs.Best time is high tide as the turtles don't have as far to crawl. I am keeping an eye on tides- will keep you posted.
I have been downloading all my boab images- have about 200!!!!! Here is a small selection to enjoy....
Take care everyone...enjoy Spring. Finish here in 4 weeks. Will be back in NZ for 5 days then intend heading to Europe for 5 weeks. Going to base in Athens and then use public transport to explore Turkey. Back end on November.lots love.....
