  • East Point Reserve, Darwin

    A great Australian Landscape

    The tropical sunsets over Darwin are spectacular. I want to capture for the balance between the sunset and the fading light on the water, and then there is the tropical cloud with the sun departing but leaving an illuminated skyline and upper cloud. There is something special about a “graceful” Darwin sunset at East Point Reserve.

    I am always looking forward to a week or two in Darwin each year to catch up with friends and a bar-be-que with on the foreshore

  • Mt Ward from Split Rock (Ridge Top Tour Track).

    One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape. I am really attracted to this place. It is not just the power of the landscape, but the colour of the hills on the horizon, the bright haze emerging from behind the hills and the colour on the face of Split Rock. I enjoy the challenge of bringing all that I see to canvas.

    Arkaroola is synonymous with the ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty.

    Arkaroola offers the famous Ridgetop Tour which takes you to Sillers Lookout. One of the most exhilarating experiences in a most exhilarating landscape.

  • We talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape.  The reflections in the waterholes make places like Arkaroola like nowhere else. 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.

    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.
