Originally we were only going to spend a couple of days in the Flinders (Hawker) but ended up staying an entire week during our seven month camping tour of Australia. We loved the area (and South Australia!) so much that we spent another week there 5 months later! We will be back in 2013!!!

This is a stunner. I'm interested in the relatively open aperture - because it was hand held and needed a fast shutter?

It reminds me also a little of old western movies. Yes, definitely hits the mark as far as painterly quality goes. It reminds me also a little of old western movies.
