Droving Sheep at Albert © by Vicki Ferrari

Droving Sheep at Albert © / Vicki Ferrari Albert, New South Wales, Australia. This was taken in the township itself, opposite the Rabbit Trap Hotel. Taken using negs back in approximately 1987. This would have to be one of my favourite photographs! I have scanned the 8X12 print and done some minor touching up (typical neg dust and scratch) with photoshop but apart from that, this image is as it is! Hope you like this! And thank you for looking (and reading!) Framed Print / (psj2)

Attack of the Shinglebacks by Steve Sass

When approached, Shinglebacks open their mouths and act big and tough! Although dont be fooled, when do they bite, they latch on very hard! This pair was found wandering the bluebush near Lake Mungo in western NSW. Steve is the Principal Ecologist at EnviroKey providing specialist ecological services across Australia.
