  • Sunset photos are very hard to get right,but this one has turned out quite well.This picture was taken where we camped on the Tanami just north of Rabbit Flat.It was a very clear night with no lights in the area.I spent many hours watching shooting stars and satellites cross the sky.

  • This little puddle was near the northern end of the Tanami and as it is a good stretch of road we where travelling a little quicker than normal,came a round the bend and hit the water and about 80 km's.The water splashed up over the windscreen and over the roof,I could not get to the wipers quick enough the dirty water blinded us.Was good for a laugh after we stopped and took a photo of it.There was about 200mm's of water in there.
