We were up at 6am again for a sunrise but we found it hard to find a good spot with reflections of the dead looking trees over Lake Wetherill, we will keep our eyes open for a more suitable spot. I did get one quick shot before the sunrise went as did Chris. After brekkie … Continue reading Day 7 -14th April

Day 8 – 15th April
We had a bit of a sleep in and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before heading down to Lake Wetherill for a paddle. It was really fun, relaxing and interesting paddling amongst all the dead gnarly trees. The trees are quite fascinating up close. There were heaps of little birds, Kites, galahs living in the trees, … Continue reading Day 8 – 15th April
Day 9 – 16th April
Gee nature is not doing her part, the sunrise was terrible, there was heavy cloud right on the horizon. It was getting later and later and we were wondering where the sun was when it finally appeared above the clouds but there was no colour as it was too far up. We arrived in at … Continue reading Day 9 – 16th April

Day 12 – 19th April
We had a nice sleep in before heading to the local flea markets. Most of the stuff was very old, even in the antique category, but still fun to have a look. We bought some bloke soap from a very friendly chatty fellow from Whyalla and some nomad soap that is designed to soap up … Continue reading Day 12 – 19th April
Day 13 – 20th April
As Chris would say it was a pearla sunrise today. Not that we needed a pearla as we were shooting in the opposite direction and just needed the sun to light up the cliffs which it did, they glowed red. Sun didn’t come up until 7.30 though. We headed off towards Coober Pedy a bit … Continue reading Day 13 – 20th April
