Colours of the Donaldson

Colours of the Donaldson

The Donaldson River is in the Tarkine wilderness. You can walk within 100 meters here and you will get shots that could be 3 different rivers. An amazing place. One day I hope our moronic government will make Australia’s oldest and largest temperate forest a national park.

Colours of the Donaldson belongs to the following groups:

Australian Bush ☼ (aspects of realistic Landscapes - ie N0 Abstracts or Macros please!), Landscape Photography, Tasmania and Timelapse/Long Exposure Photography Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

    I cant believe the colours and the movement you have so perfectly captured!

    Rob, Thanks mate, was fun trying not to slip standing on those rocks, but worked out. If you come back to Tas book in with Tarkine Trails tours!

    adgray, thank you so much for your comment. Not only are they not making it national park but logging the hell out of it! Thats what happens when you have a red neck for a premier.
