Trip to the Top End


A quick trip to the "Top End" provided a fantastic opportunity to photograph a different kind of  rugged Australian landscape. 

The pics of Edith Falls have been well received on Australia.com.

An aerial view of Kakadu showed the landscape as an ethereal world with the fires of the dry season smoking eriely below and winding rivers glinting in the sun.

Katherine Gorge provided some challenging lighting  but the reflections added  to the sense of grandure.

Although I wasn't particularly intereted in crocodiles we found that they are a huge part of  tourism in the territory and I now know more about them than I could have ever imagined.
