Bath Time by Steve Sass

This Desert Tree Frog Litoria rubella was sharing the shower with me during my recent stay at Boolardy Station, 350kms north-east of Geraldton in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Captured on a Canon EOS1000D with a 105mm macro.

An Explosion of Peas Kennedia coccinea by Ron Long

The year before my visit a huge bush fire swept through Stirling Ranges National Park. It was scary for people living in the area but by the time I arrived the flowers, and especially the peas were showing the benefits of fire. Just imagine the enormous seed bank that will be laid down after this bloom. And those seeds will lie in the soil for years just waiting for ideal condition to produce another explosion of flowers.

Ring-tailed Dragon by Steve Sass

There are five races of the Ring-tailed Dragon Ctenophorus caudicinctus which is found across the northern parts of Australia from WA, through to NT and just in QLD. This individual is C.c.mensarum and was found in some great rocky outcrops in breakaway country in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. They are a small dragon, only growing up to 100mm (from snout to vent, about half their total length), where they bask on top of elevated rocks displaying for passing females. This guy is a well coloured male. The ‘shot’ was taken with a Canon EOS1000D with a 150-500 @ 500 handheld.

Bell Tower - high key by Karen Stackpole

The Perth Bell Tower, home of the Swan Bells. The Swan Bells are a set of eighteen bells hanging in a specially built 82.5 metres (271 ft)-high copper and glass campanile in Perth, Western Australia. Taking their name from the Swan River, which their tower overlooks, and forming a sixteen-bell peal with two extra chromatic notes, they are one of the largest sets of change ringing bells in the world. Twelve of the set are historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square in London; six others, cast in recent times by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, round off the set. The St Martin-in-the-Fields bells were donated to the State of Western Australia as part of the 1988 Australian bicentenary celebrations; the additional bells were cast with a subsequent donation of metals mined in Western Australia. The six newer bells include five which were presented to the University of Western Australia, the City of Perth and to the people of Western Australia from the City of London, the City of Westminster and a consortium of British and Australian mining companies, and one bell commissioned by the Western Australian Government. An inlaid path made of ceramic tiles surrounds the tower. These come from nearly every school in Western Australia and are arranged alphabetically by school name. Each school’s tile lists students at that school in the year of 1999. Each child has written his or her name as a contribution to the Swan Bells. The site is now a tourist attraction for the City; since its opening on December 10, 2001, almost 1 million people have visited. Fuji F6500 camera ( tone adgustment only)

Early Christmas Tree by georgieboy98

Nuytsia Floribunda, otherwise known as the West Australian Christmas Tree. This is the first one I have seen this season and they are lining both sides of the road as you drive through the Yanchep National Park some 50+kms north of Perth. / They are actually a member of the mistletoe family but despite spending many hours standing beneath them I’ve never yet been kissed!! / They are also parasites and feed off other plants and trees. Early aboriginals loved to eat the roots which were said to taste a bit like candy – I can’t vouch for that though!
