Famed as the birthplace of Henri IV, king of France and the Navarre, the Chateau de Pau also played an important role of fortress under Gaston Febus (Gaston III was the 11th count of Foix and viscount of Béarn 1343-1391, he claimed Béarn as an independent fief with its chief seat his stringhold at Pau, a site that had been fortified by the 11th century which was later made the official capital of Béarn province in 1464 of Foix-Béarn) and residence to the royal families of the Renaissance. The tapestry, towers, gardens and donjons mark the presence of a history filled with gallantry, fame and courage.

Growing up in Margaret River as a kid, with the rocky beaches and pounding surf along the coastline. I always use to think we would drive to a tropical island when we went down into Meelup for a swim. The north facing beach is sheltered from most of the swell and waves from the Indian Ocean, but when the waves come through…it is a sight to behold.

Murray River narrows through the spot which is pretty cool to shoot a canoe through in the Winter/Sring seasons. / This photo was taken in the early Summer. / Lane Pool Reserve / Dwellingup / SW Western Australia. You can hire very reliable Canadian style canoes in Dwellingup township. / They will even deliver the canoes down to the river for you then return them you are finished. The Bibbulmun walk only Track meanders through this area as well. / That reminds me if you want a personal guide to do the the track just let me know. The best time is Sept/Oct. The wilf flowers have to be seen to be believed. Evne if you dont want to walk all the way, day walks a fine. There are numerous small towns and B abd B’s to stay over night at.

As a wilderness photographer I have a tendency to value photos from remote and difficult to get to places over those taken 10m from the car or off the public viewing platform no matter how amazing the scene. With these criteria in mind and the experience of this amazing area fresh in my memory I would therefore value this shot as amongst the most significant to me personally that I have ever taken. I first visited the Prom back in 1991 and over many years traversed every track in the area, reveling in the new pads like the SE Point/ Waterloo Bay track as well as some of the more remote tracks in the northern section of the promontory. As a bushwalker who likes to explore areas that few others get to, my attraction to the trackless southwest corner of Wilsons Promontory came into focus fairly early in my forays around the Prom. In accordance with this interest I made enquiries at the Ranger Station in Tidal River about doing a walk in this area only to be informed that off track permits were only issued to parties involved in scientific research. Having walked extensively off track in other regions around Victoria in the full knowledge of local park staff I was frankly mystified by this policy. In the busy areas along the west coast and near the 1961 Cinnamon Fungus outbreak in the north of the Prom I could understand it but in most areas the shear density and verdancy of the undergrowth was its own deterrent to most potential off track candidates. Years later I found my mystification justified when after a mini tornado of letters to the editor of WILD that occurred in consequence to an article I wrote about a circumnavigation of the prom that I did (without a permit). I became aware that permits were in fact issued for non scientific parties and have happily applied and received such permits henceforth. My mystification these days is why the ranger misled me in the first place? Anyway back to the walk, we left Tidal River at midday on Friday planning to get to Enclave Creek by nightfall. About halfway down the heavens opened and informed me extremely effectively that it was time to reproof my megabuck Gortex jacket. Twenty-one km later at South Point drenched and with darkness approaching we dismissed the Enclave Creek idea and happily retreated to our shelter for a well earned dinner and rest. Our main worry being about the feasibility of completing such a trip if the weather didn’t improve. We needn’t have worried with the next day dawning bright and clear. Rising before dawn I gave all of my five and a half kilograms of camera gear a work out in the magical first rays of the day. I took my time so as to give my gear a chance to dry and thinking that the two days we had allowed to cover the next ten kilometres was ample for the task at hand anyway. On one hand I was expecting this walk to be one of the toughest I had ever done but from my view of the nearby coast I wasn’t expecting those difficulties to start until around South-west Point. So casual was my approach that I decided to fill my water bottle en route rather than at the nearby creek. Boy was that an error of judgment. It started easy enough but soon we were forced inland as the cliffs grew shear and our low level rock climbing and rock hoping grew more dangerous. See a you tube clip of my brother negotiating one of these traverses here . Incidentally this clip was of one of the easier traverses on which no-one actually got wet. So dense was the inland scrub that our progress slowed to a crawl with only a few hundred meters an hour being covered. Eventually we stopped at Enclave Creek for ‘lunch’ at 4:00pm after checking out Enclave Creek Falls and our by now very parched throats. We decided that we needed to make South-west Point by nightfall to give us a hope of completing our trip the next day. Four hours later exhausted but happy we completed the one kilometer traverse between Enclave Creek and the point by torchlight. In ten hours of hard walking that day we had covered a mere two and a half kilometers. We had however scored one of the only spaces large enough to pitch a tent in that we had seen all day. The next morning was one of rapturous delight, experience the new day from a place that a mere handful have ever experienced it from before. The location and light were stunning my only regret being the need to hurry and therefore missing a few shots I otherwise would of got, oh well. By 7:15 we were off on another huge day of scrub, granite, coastlines, creeks and mountains our previous days start point depressingly close wondering if we would have time to complete our walk in the time allotted.

This view is one I have dreamed about for years after seeing it in an article I found on-line. The picture is taken off the rarely visited Mt Norgate (419m) overlooking Oberon Bay, then Norman, Pillar, Leonard and Tongue Points before getting to Shellback Island at Wilsons Promontory. When down amongst these points the fact that they line up is impossible to percieve how they do line up when up here is a true wonder to behold. The difficulty in getting to this spot was staggeringly hard involving two days of hard bushbashing and dangerous sea level traverses to cover less than 10km. Part of the journey can be seen on this You Tube clip . Incidentally this clip was of one of the easier traverses on which no-one actually got (very)wet (was so preoccupied with me and my companions doing the other ones safely I forgot to get my camera out, doh). For more of the story of this trip check out the caption linked with my Anser Island from South-west Point pic below.

The next morning was one of rapturous delight, experience the new day from a place that a mere handful have ever experienced it from before. The location and light were stunning although it was slightly disheartening to see yesterdays start point so close at hand despite our efforts (visible as the furthest narrow headland on the left of the shot). The islands from left to right are East Moncoeur Island (102m), Devil’s Tower (faint island on horizon, 111m), West Moncoeur Island (97m), Wattle Island (leaving the frame on the right 82m). I’ve been told that it is possible to cross Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania without loosing sight of land, so numerous are these islands. All the islands in this shot except Wattle Island are in Tasmanian territory. By 7:15 we were off on another huge day enjoying all the scrub, granite, coast, creek and mountain joy this part of the world could throw at us. Twelve hours later we had covered the six kilometers necessary to reach easier ground at Oberon Bay. From here it was a mere 8km of on track walking which we covered in a little over an hour by torch light revelling in the ease of unrestricted travel before the drive home to sleep in our own beds.

© C J Lewis Taken using a Nikon SLR 35mm film camera. Shot taken in 1977 during an outback trip when we dropped in on Selby & his wife. This sweet artist was 85 years young when I photographed him and his lovely wife…she just doted over him…a very loving couple. Selby’s work was vibrantly alive with brilliant colours and at that age…he was still painting :) / MCN:CF264-6705D-FA486

On our outing with the South West Art and Photography Group, we stopped at Nannup for a quick shoot and spotted some canoist just finishing their afternoon jaunt down the river. So nice to see water in the river too.

Rocamadour was a dependency of the abbey of Tulle to the north in the Bas Limousin. The buildings of Rocamadour (from ròca, cliff, and sant Amador) rise in stages up the side of a cliff on the right bank of the Alzou, which here runs between rocky walls 400 ft. in height. Flights of steps ascend from the lower town to the churches, a group of massive buildings half-way up the cliff. The chief of them is the pilgrimage church of Notre Dame (rebuilt in its present configuration from 1479), containing the cult image at the center of the site’s draw, a wooden Black Madonna reputed to have been carved by Saint Amator (Amadour) himself. The small Benedictine community continued to reserve the use of the small twelfth-century church of Saint-Michel, above and to the side. Below, the pilgrimage church opens on to a terrace where pilgrims could assemble, called the Plateau of St Michel, where there is a broken sword said to be a fragment of Durandal, once wielded by the hero Roland. The interior walls of the church of St Sauveur are covered, with paintings and inscriptions recalling the pilgrimages of celebrated persons. The subterranean church of St Amadour (1166) extends beneath St Sauveur and contains relics of the saint. On the summit of the cliff stands the château built in the Middle Ages to defend the sanctuaries.Famous pilgrims include:- Roland Eleanor of Aquitaine Henry II of England Blanche of Castile Louis IX of France Charles IV of France Louis XI of France It was also an important stage on the Pilgrimage to the alledged relic of St James at Santiago de Compostella in NE Spain. / A 3 frame HDR image -2,0,+2 EV, Canon 400D, Canon EF-S 17-85 IS USM lens at ISO 100.

In the mid 1800’s, the first Governor of Western Australia, Governor Stirling, selected 12,800 acres of fertile land in Harvey called it the ‘Harvey River Settlement’. The only improvement he made to the land was to build a cottage, known as “The Hut”. This convict built cottage, on the banks of the tranquil Harvey River, featured a shingled roof and ‘pit-sawn’ jarrah walls with hexoganal-shaped paving blocks fitted together to form firm flooring. One of the original paving blocks can be seen in the Cottage history room today. As the ‘Harvey Estate’ was sold quite a few times over the years, the ‘cottage’ was home to many pioneering farming families. In 1885 and 1886, May Gibbs, (creator of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie), lived in the cottage with her family. It is believed that May Gibbs drew much of her inspiration for her stories and illustrations from her experiences in Harvey. The original cottage was surrounded by gardens and fruit trees, and had a cellar which was often flooded in winter. A blacksmiths workshop and stables were added. Over the years, the cottage fell into disrepair, and by the end of the 1960’s only a few bricks and stones remained. A lone pine tree marked the site of the Cottage, but this was blown down during a storm in 1985. On Sunday 9th October 1994, the replica ‘Stirling Cottage’ was open to the public. Modelled on the original ‘Stirling Cottage’, this building features the shingled roof, jarrah walls and hexoganal paving blocks of the original. A balcony has been added overlooking the tranquil Harvey River. Info from Harvey Tourism webpage Azalea taken in the ground. This is a delightful tranquil place to visit, with lovely short walks, a small orange grove and old fashioned herb garden. At the time of the visit, a wedding reception area was being laid out for the afternoon. They also make great scones.
