Making a post before I forget how

[pnodrog]

I have been exploring Australia for the last three months. There are plenty of things to see. Just thought I should see if I can still remember how to post a photograph.

The photograph was taken early morning in an area called the Breakaway Ranges near Cooper Pedy South Australia.

Nice work!

Here in New Zealand ... we still like to think of ourselves as being the capital of Australia though! (but you knew that already!).

Jokes aside, I've spent a total of 4 days there - many years ago (around the gold coast area); 'twas a really nice place - although in the mornings some of the locals were saying how cold it was overnight and how they had to get up and put an extra blanket on the bed ... whereas I spent the nights sleeping on top of the sheets thinking "gawd this is hot!".

Nice one Paul Captures the essence of the region nicely (we used to live in South Australia). Did you visit the "dug outs" (underground dwellings)?

Impressive photo. Welcome back

Thankyou Colin. You really need more than four days to see Australia. I would love to see your take on some of the scenes. The only big area I heave not yet visited is Western Australia and some say it has some of the best scenery.

I have to like a location to get out of bed early enough to be there at sunrise. Below is another I took there a short time later.

We stayed in Cooper Pedy (above ground). However we did visit an underground Greek? church. I found Cooper Pedy interesting but a bit messy and very touristy. Very glad we have been there but not on my revisit list.

I'd love to see my take on some of the scenes too! Heck, I've even love to shoot some at the other end of the South Island but - alas - I've been telling myself this for decades and don't seem to be getting any closer. Superannuation is just a few days away for me now, but I think the list of things I need to spend it on seems to be lengthening at an alarming rate ... but who knows!

I was very lucky in my 4 days; there was someone whom I dealt with a reasonable amount for business over the phone there - had never met her until then - but she "took me under her wing" and looked after me life a VIP for all of the 4 days. Twas very kind of her.

Out of curiosity, are you experiencing any "push back" with regards to the, apparantly, "changing cultural landscape" in Australia? I was talking with someone just yesterday about how places like the rock are now more restricted; just wondering how wide spread it is?
