We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This scene below the dominant Bararranna Hill holds a particular fascination. It is one of the major iconic scenes along Arkaroola Creek tracing the path of the great dreaming serpent, Arkaroo. This scene projects a primeval emotion typical of the harsh and robust environment. The rock faces are sharp and steep with few trees successfully finding a crevace to set their roots. Interest in the scene is enhanced with the foreground water, and we have the curiosity of what lies around the next bend as we make our way up to the Bararranna Waterhole. There are still many questions that the landscape asks of us.

We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. In this work I have tried to capture the thirst of a landscape in the cycle of life. The day is beginning to warm, there is a feeling of death. And yet there is still some sign of life in the background. There is a hope that the landscape will recover, that the trees will shed their parched exterior. That is the conundrum and the cleverness of nature, that it adapts, it survives but doesn’t quite conquer.

Elephant Rocks, near Denmark on the southern coast of Western Australia. Generations of battering from the Southern Ocean has created a unique set of rocks in the image of four or five elephants making their way to and from the raging surf.

What is it about a Pilbara Landscape that draws you in? Is it the ochre red of the iron soaked ranges that fade to purple and blue in the distance. Is it the plains of the yellow of the spinifex catching the afternoon sun. Could it be the gorge with its exposed red sides. A visit to the Millstream - Chichester National Park offers more that an average Australian Outback experience.
