To market, to market – with travel photography

 

I’m very excited about selling my photographs on canvasses at some Christmas markets in November and December. While these markets are in NSW, if you do want any photos before Christmas let me know asap and I can get them sent them to you.

Who is the most annoying person of 2011?

The best/worst of 2011 lists are starting to come out, so I’ve decided to compile my own personal best list.

It’s not definitive, nor does it really have a theme. It’s just some of the things that I liked, or that annoyed me, in 2011. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Eulo Mud Baths – who needs Rotorua?

Another unexpected find on our journey, from a small, almost unnoticed, note on the map – “mud springs”.

That’s all it said, but it was enough to make me curious.

Neither of us knew anything about it. In fact, neither of us had ever heard of Eulo, where the springs are, so Doc agreed to have a look.

On the road less travelled

We’ve had what might be one of my favourite days of the trip so far.

Dinosaur stampede

Yesterday morning we left Winton early to get to the 10am dinosaur stampede tour. And yes – it’s a real dinosaur stampede. At least, the fossil remains of one, and the only site of it’s kind in the world.

This site – Lark Quarry – is 110km out of Winton heading south. Our original plan was to head towards Longreach, but as we have to get home soon we decided to keep heading south across country rather than come back up to Longreach.

And it turned out to be the right decision.

It’s Tuesday, it must be … um where are we again?

I had one of those “where the fuck am I?” moments this morning.

I was woken up sometime while it was still dark by a car driving past the tent. The night before I crashed – and I do mean crashed – about 10pm.

Earlier that night we’d been fishing, where Doc caught a barra. Finally! And it was legal – about 65cm long. Of course, he was feeling very pleased with himself, so we called into the local pub (the best pub in the outback according to their own marketing), to celebrate. It was only two drinks, then back to the campsite where I cooked dinner (fish of course).

We’d just finished eating and were cleaning up when I got that “I have to go to sleep – now” feeling. So I did. I left Doc with the rest of the cleaning, climbed into the tent and was asleep even before my head hit the pillow.
