Fossil Rock Too

Some other photos taken at the Leo Sayer Concert in Parachilna.

Local girl, Jasmine Reschke from Blinman sang several songs she has written along with a couple of her favourites.

Well-known local singer-songwriter John O’Day was popular with the crowd as usual both as a support act and after the concert.

A young musician that’s got as good future in the industry, Harry Hookey from Victoria who is also completing his final year in Law.

Main Street, Parachilna transformed for the big event. Even a grand sunset turned up for the occasion.

A ripper concert with good songs and some great guitar playing.

A Backlit Mystery

This is obviously not the Flinders Ranges but I like the photograph for a number of reasons.
Firstly it’s shot with my new Fuji X100, a really ace little camera that I can carry around most of the time. It has a single 35mm lens which shoots excellent quality picture in either Jpeg or Raw and has full creative control for the photographer.
I would not have got this shot because I would not have been carrying around my Canon 5D and a big lens at the time.
Also the light in the photograph is really good…the sun virtually straight ahead and giving good backlight to the trees.
I like the sun shining through the woman’s hair and the various shadows the light is creating.
There’s also an air of mystery around the image too. Who is the chap in the red jumper moving away amongst the trees and what has been happening here?

Barrarina Gorge – Where Time stood Still

More pictures from this fascinating and beautiful place.

The jagged rock face of the gorge.


A close up of the patterns formed by distortion of the earth’s surface, set in stone for all to see.

Rock crevices with hardly any soil – yet hardy trees and shrubs somehow manage to survive.

Again, a close up of the rock formations from the previous picture.

Bronco Branding Champs – Marree

Here are some of the other images of both the action and the faces at the Australian Bronco Branding Championships on June 12 and 13.

The event was held in Marree in far north South Australia.

Marree is the beginning of both the Oodnadatta and Birdsville Tracks, so it was ideal location for the event which lets station people compete in what is an every day part of running a cattle station.

And the winners were……..
