  • Karl Williams

    Karl Williams

    Great colours here, Davo. I have to say that the colours are more associated in my mind with somewhere like Utah than NSW. We learn something new every day!

  • David Hibberd replied

    G’day Karl and thank you. I tend to think most people don’t realy comprehend the vast size of Australia and its varied land scapes. Strangly enough it’s the Aussies that seem to have the least knowledge of the land, I guess most of us don’t travel to much.
    Plus the so many films coming out of the U S show this type of landscape. Tanks again mate

    this is mind blowing!

  • David Hibberd replied

    Not sure if your familiar with Mungo? It is the site where Mungo man and woman were found. These finds have turned the out of Africa theory on its head and slammed it in to the ground. Its facinating to learn more about our land and this place is our land at its best. Thank you for your comment, sorry if the reply was more than you wanted
