Snow Gum by Ern Mainka
Snow Gum in winter, Lake Mountain, Yarra Ranges NP, Victoria. The bushfires on 7th February 2009 caused considerable damage at Lake Mountain. Much of the forested area was burnt, and almost all buildings except the Day Visitor Centre were destroyed. It’s sadly expected that this tree was also burnt. © Ern Mainka

Water in three forms by tasadam
At Lake Myrtle, at the base of Mt Rogoona in Tasmania, on a cold morning a heavy layer of frost sits on an old log in the water, the mist in the air giving this scene an extra element. Taken with a Nikon D200 camera. A description of access to this area here An update, 9th June 2009 – I am totally thrilled at the response this image has received. Since adding it to my portfolio, nearly 10% of people viewing it have add it as a favourite, and exactly 50% of people that have commented on it also added it as a favourite. / Thank you to everyone for your response to this image. How much detail is there in my images? / This image has an example If you like this, you’ll probably like / my other images.

A Cold Place by tasadam
This snow covered bush is located on a ledge beside the walking track high along a mountain range known as the Western Arthurs in southwest Tasmania. / It was indeed a very cold day. Having walked from the car park at Scotts Peak to Lake Cygnus for two nights, the first night brought snow, as it does at any time of year in Tasmania. So a day of photography was cut short, allowing enough time to retreat off the mountains for the second night. The inclement weather playing its part in a reminder to how self-preservation must take priority in this part of the world. How much detail is there in my images? / This image has an example If you like this, you’ll probably like / my other images.

Night Comes Quickly by Vanessa Barklay
An odd thing about living in the Atherton Tablelands, Far Nth Queensland is the way night comes suddenly, this is why we don’t have or need Daylight Savings, there is no evening anyway.. / It goes from daylight to dark in a matter of half an hour where I am…6pm it’s light, 6.30 it’s dark..I would never have noticed it had I not come from down South… / An ‘evening’ shot taken from my verandah..

When the Sun in the Morning .... by Bev Woodman
“When the sun in the morning peaks over the hill and surveys all the kingdon while everything’s still” .... / and so the song goes – so appropriate this dawn morning in Gloucester NSW Australia. We waited patiently for the sun to rise and light up the Bucketts, the range of mountains that dominate the landscape in this area. It arrived first with its blood red blotches of cloud, then quickly washed the small valley with this magic glow … then it was gone and pure sunlight filled the area.

'Still "Hanin' about" by debsphotos
The flying foxes or fruit bats are still in their ‘perches’ in the trees along Woolgoolga lake rd…they have totally striped the trees of their leaves in a section hundreds of metres in length…and have moved into the last remaining ones in this location…they have been here for several months…make the biggest racket..bickering and fighting amongst themselves…then settle again until the next outbreak…..quiet a daylight sight!!!

About This Group
Welcome to the Australian Bush Group!
This is a Group for you to show & tell about where you went bush (out of the Urban Jungle & into Rural Australia) and what you saw and did when you got there!
Bush – The Bush, a term used for rural, undeveloped land or country areas according to Wikipedia
Composition of artwork for this group should be predominantly landscape oriented (We are trying to portray pictures Of “The Bush” not that the bush just happened to be where you were!)
Only art from publicly accessible Rural areas – no Urban Development shots please (Native Vegetated Reserve Parks within the urban areas are acceptable at the discretion of the moderator)
People and people created things can be considered “out bush”, but please remember Rule 1 when submitting artwork of this type – predominantly landscape orientated. Shots must have a predominant element of “landscape” to it!
- Please remember Wikipedia’s definition – rural, undeveloped
(Including but not limited to: people, birds, insects, & animals; huts, lodges, cabins, & houses; campervans, caravans & tents; farm-buildings, industrial buildings & equipment; roads, tracks, pathways & railways; bridges & buildings; gates & fencing; personal vehicles, trucks, tractors & boats; etc – all can be rural things and as such can be in the shot but not the main body of the shot This is so we don’t get, for example, a photo of a tractor rusting away in a paddock somewhere when all it is really, is a picture of a tractor!)
In the description box there needs to be location information of where images were taken / writings were influenced by (In the case of writing – if not included within the piece, the area influencing the written piece described [and pictured if possible] in the description box)
With a desire to keep the focus on accurate impression of the Natural Australian Bush
a) this group is not for paintings – for this please see the Aussie Bush Paintings group
b) animal birds & insect shots please see the Australian Wildlife group
c) for close ups on florals please see Australian Native Plants
d) and please keep HDR and other computer generated effects to a bare minimum (Subsequent to the discretion of the moderator)
Please no Macro’s for these please see Macro Photography
Please no Back Yard shots – for this see Back Yard Photography or Back Yard Close Ups and Macro Shots Only groups
Journals are to be about the Australian Bush and your experiences within it and your experiences of this group (Other journal entries may be refused)
Please keep an eye on the Group News to be involved in the group action!
(Forum discussions do not necessarily have to be limited to bush and rainforest issues. These entries help us get to know the diversity of group members’ interests!)
Please limit your uploads to 2 images per day per person
(and be aware that we will [sadly!] remove incompatible work)
