Canberra, Australia’s national capital is normally represented by images of it many famous buildings. But of course as with many places, getting ‘under the skin’ of a place can have its own rewards.
December in Canberra can be hot, or cold, or both, on the same day. This may or may not be reflected in these images. Taken on the outer and in some cases, the inner fringes of Canberra.
Comment welcome.
Dry conditions were evident during an outing to Ravensbourne National Park.
The area is renowned for having high numbers of blood-sucking ticks that inhabit the forest. These insects burrow their heads under the skin, making removal a careful exercise. Failure to detect them and remove within 24 hours can result in debilitating illness, including tick paralysis.
Fortunately this trip was tick-free.
Poor light due to increasingly overcast conditions restricted photo opportunities.
Due to a lack or on occasions, total absence of track markers, a casual photographic stroll turned into a journey of ‘which way?’
Comment welcome
This is a short series of shots from a visit to the Highfields Pioneer Village, to the north of Toowoomba. The location provides a wide range of old machinery, some wooden buildings and a church. It is popular for wedding and group tours.
Unfortunately the opening hours are not entirely photography friendly and harsh light presented challenges.
