1992 Kata Tjuto saddle growth Ptilotus Manglesii by FailingMemory

In Central Australia there are two reserves one of which is better known than the other, Uluru. The one we found more interesting, but harder to walk around because it involved climbing was Kata Tjuto. There is no open walk all around the reserve, but on a minor walk we crossed a saddle and were surprised to find this plant growing on almost bare rock on the saddle. Taken with Pentax LX camera and 26-80 mm Sigma lens on Kodachrome film.

Tomkinson River, Arnhem Land by Erik Schlogl

The Tomkinson River is a tributary of the Liverpool River, which drains a catchment area of over 8000 square kilometers in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. The Tomkinson River is tidal almost to its source, but nevertheless has an inflow of fresh water all year from springs in the Arnhem Land Escarpment. The wetlands along the river are prime habitat for a myriad of bird species, as well as the obligatory saltwater crocodiles, and anglers prize the river for barramundi fishing. Featured in Northern Territory.

Poinciana in bloom by Lyn Higgs

Darwin is in bloom and the colour Red hot passionate and red….... Poinciana (Delonix regia) Considered to be one of the most beautiful of all the flowering trees, the poinciana comes from Madagascar. It grows into an umbrella shape, about three times as wide as it is tall. In summer the crown of the tree is covered in large, scarlet flowers made up of five petals. Four of the petals are orange to scarlet; the fifth is white or yellow with scarlet or crimson spots and streaks.

Nature as Artist - Dripstone Cliffs, Darwin by chijude

Featured: The Northern Territory Group – November – 2009 Nature’s palette. Wonderful rock colours from Darwin’s Dripstone Cliffs on foreshore at Brinkin – a short walk from my daughter and family’s home in Brinkin NT. Next time I visit I will take the 5k walk out to Dripstone Point. / Nikon D90 Nikkor 60mm Micro Lens / F32 1/40 ISO 800 / Pattern Metering / Manual Exposure / A google of ‘Dripstone Point’ leading to ‘Casuarina Reserve/Dripstone Caves’ gives a fascinating glimpse of the varying Government agencies involved in the management of this area. / /
Outback Road by markosixty6

The Great Central Road takes you from Uluru in the Northern Territory across to Leonora and Kalgoorlie in the Western Australian Goldfields. It is the shortest route from Perth to Central Australia with a distance of around 1250 kilometers. / The route will take you through some spectacular desert countryside that has plenty of historical past, not least of which is the legend and mystique of Lasseter’s Reef. / In 1930 Lasseter set out with an expedition to find gold. He claimed that he did so, in the vicinity of Lake Christoper, unfortunately Lasseter perished on the return trip and the legendary reef was never charted and has never, to this day, been re found. / Later in the 50’s Len Beadell, of the Anne Beadell Highway fame, was responsible for surveying and constructing many new roads in the region. / But the history of the region started long before any of this, around the early 1870’s in fact, when Earnest Giles and William Gosse made multiple attempts to cross the desert from east to west. It was they who named Ayres Rock, now Uluru and The spectacular Olgas, now renamed Kata Tjuta. / It was on one of these trips in 1874 when on of Ernest Giles’ companions, Alf Gibson, died. Hence the Gibson Desert was named. / Outback Road was featured in Northern Territory Group.

Karlu Karlu by markosixty6

The area is located near Wauchope, approximately 114km south of Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land’s Aboriginal traditional owners. The ‘Devil’s Marbles’ or ‘Karlu Karlu’ with its gigantic, rounded granite boulders, some spectacularly poised, is a remarkable landscape. Scattered clusters of these ‘marbles’ are spread across a wide, shallow valley. The Devil’s Marbles is a nationally and internationally recognised symbol of Australia’s outback.
