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

Superb low down and wide perspective Michael…the Tarkine certainly looks like a beautiful place.

I cant believe the colours and the movement you have so perfectly captured!
and I cant believe the Gvt haven’t declared the Tarkine a state forest!
Gorgeous simply gorgeous :o)

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!
Suzie, thanks very much
Shaddy, Thanks very much mate, glad you think so.
Michael Walters
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.

hdphotos, I think that we are not too far away from a new government down here and people are becoming more aware of these places and their beauty.
Tony Middleton
the polished river boulders and te rainforest colours are exquisite and you have captured them justifiedly well in this image Mick – well done !
