Source: Week 10: Photographer’s Choice I found this week quite hard, as it was up to each of us to choose a photo! It was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Isn’t it funny how we can get thrown by simple things – like having too much choice?? So if you’re following along at home here…
Source: Week 9: The letter D Here is the photo I didn’t use for this week’s 52 week photo project. I’ve called it Debbie and the Daffodils as I figured I could get two D’s for the price of one! I love the fact that Spring has sprung down here, with the daffodils bobbing their pretty yellow heads, the magnolia…
Source: Week 8: Old fashioned/Vintage For those of you following along at home here is Week 8 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme Old fashioned/Vintage. Despite taking photos of old things along the way on our outback trip , they just didn’t feel right. So I was running out of time and struggling to find something to photograph…
Art and Women’s Business were on the agenda for days 5 & 6 of our Outback Aussie Adventure. Women’s Business: I was privileged to take part in the ‘Women’s business’ talk with Josie and Glenise Coulthard while at Iga Warta.

Walking the Frome River – Day 4 Today saw our little group of five (we call ourselves the Famous Five) walk from Mt Serle homestead, down the Frome River, with our cultural guide Cliff Coulthard. We walked about 13kms and I must say it was a very pleasant day of walking. A reminder of what we’re doing on our 2…

Welcome to Iga Warta – Day 3 full of culture and history Nangga (pronounced nunga) means hello/welcome in the local Adnyamathanha (pronounced Udna-mat-na) language. We are learning lots of words for plants, animals and birds, as we go on our walks with guides Sharpie, Cliff and Terry. It’s been very enlightening and educational not to mention interesting. The good news…
Welcome to Iga Warta – Day 2 It was very windy through the night but it didn’t worry me too much as I was sound asleep! It was still quite warm. Terry, our host, passed us on our way into breakfast with a shotgun in his hand. He was on his way out to get dinner for the night –…

We arrived in Iga Warta late in the afternoon after driving over 400 kms from the verdant Clare Valley. As we drove further north, into the Flinders Ranges, the vegetation slowly changed from vineyards, green pastures and pretty towns to…

No? well it was very,…
