We talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape. Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty. The afternoon sun on the rugged face of Dinnertime Hill brings out the colours of the landscape and there is a little mystery as Wywhyana Creek winds it way through the nearby gorge. The desert mulga with its dry, copper tinge completes the story.

Bararranna Gorge Waterhole, One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape
Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful, untamed but with a natural beauty.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 crevasse 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. Look at the sharpness of the rock face embracing the cutting power of flood.
Contemplate just how high and powerful the flood must be when it does rain.

Out of stockWe talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape. Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty. According to legend, Arkaroo, the great Dreamtime serpent lived in the Gammon Ranges. He felt very thirsty, so he slithered down to the plains and drank Lake Frome dry. When he had finished, he went back to the Gammons, his body gouging out Arkaroola Creek. The waterholes represent the places that he stopped and rested. Reflections in the water at the Bararranna Gorge Waterhole along Arkaroola Creek.

Out of stockAn early morning rest at Port Adelaide provides the opportunity to marvel at the emerging dawn. The reflections of the sunrise with the blue hue above the horizon topped with a pink layer before merging into the morning sky is the fascination. This autumn morning had the added bonus of a late moon and reflections on the still Port River.

The early morning catches an interesting mood. The air is clear, the sun is bright, it is not yet hot, the day is full of promise. The light catches the awning's vivid red and the communication tower at the end of the jetty. There is some fascination with the water lapping the shore, the ripples and the shadows under the jetty.

Quobba Station, WA
A Coral Coast excursion in 2021 around one of my favoured themes; landscape, light, cloud, and special place.
Quobba Station hosts the famous exposed surf reef break at Red Bluff.
The painting is about the place, the Indian Ocean crashes into the rock ledge. Late in the afternoon, the pink beginning of the sunset catches the wisp of the clouds.
