    Excellent, love the colors, the depth and especially the reflections. Great work.

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thank barnsis there is a huige ridge over it now,when we crossed there was a croc swimming about, not that I could see it! I found out later I needed glasses, I had always been shortsighted.I just could never understand how others could see things I couldn’t.

    Nicely done, those red hill colors reminds me of South Africa. I wonder if Australia was once part of the Africian contential shelf and then split off?

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks Mary, interesting thought a few things are similar both countries are the only ones with Baob trees.

    thanks BB at this time 1968, just this river crossing when I went there [Northern Australia] .. there were crocs in the river but being short sighted I couldn’t see them [actually exaggerate, there was only one] One is enough to eat people though !!!]anyway we did have a wonderful time paddling etc, These days there are signs up and there is a huge bridge too so this view is up the river ..
