Trips out bush

Recommended Posts

In my off time from being out in the desert drilling holes in the ground I am usually in Perth or back out in the bush somewhere doing some hiking/hunting.

 

Some pics from my last big trip North East of a town called Wiluna back in June. Basically central WA. The star gazing is incredible. 0 light pollution. Is a must do for anyone interested.

These seasonal watering holes are full of invertebrates which migratory birds eat on their travels.

Edit: it's Calandrinia creethiae - cute little succulent. If you get stuck for water you can munch on a heap of these bad boys. Didn't taste any bitterness either

The elusive camel...

No idea what this is. Plenty around at the time. Quite nice to look at.

Acacia nyssophylla?

Looking back...

This piece of machinery was in the middle of absolute nowhere. Had a GPS coord to go check it out. It's amazing what's been left in the outback...

Beautiful sunrises... :)

Walked up a sand dune for a better look

Seasonal watering hole out near Lake Carnegie. Spotted some black swans. Incredible. Finding a dead tortoise.. not so much:( Welcome to nature.

Nothing better than sitting around a camp fire and cooking over a flame or hot coals.

This is what camels and wild cattle do to tracks in the wet season. Terrible to drive on. Still hadn't seen a camel by this stage though...

Another seasonal watering hole.

Love the pinky color.

Creek somewhere?

There they are! The reason for the whole search ended here.

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

 

Love the true outback.  I'm amazed there are still people living semi-nomadically in some places like that.

 

And those camels are awesome, great find!

I'd love to live out bush one day...

 

Also, awesome is not the right word I'd use. Absolute menace is closer..
