Ribs: Australia series #5

Ribs: Australia series #5

In the North of the Pilbara of Western Australia a timeless landscape simmers in the unbearable heat, line after unending line of ridges marching across the Earth’s surface…
Some of the ridges are closer together, some have joined together, wavy lines of rock and sand become one for short distances…it is in these places where the ribs of the Earth come together that water can collect and exist for a while, and where the vegetation can thrive…eucalypts, acacias and desert scrub crowd together in an effort to survive, like so many pub patrons on a hot Sunday afternoon
Outside, in the flat baking valleys only the toughest live on, determined, grim and unbowed as were the first explorers and settlers of this most beautiful of hells…
Life is hard in my Country
But Death is not an option
