Im definitely showing signs of improvement, with 2 posts in two weeks!  This is another shot from my latest trip to the Kimberley last year.  I haven’t been into Geikie Gorge for quite a few years, as its near Fitzroy Crossing just off the main road and if i’m going that way the Gibb River Rd is my preference.

Geikie Gorge Twilight reflections

Camping around Fitzroy Crossing is a bit scarce, unless you want to stay in a camp ground in the town, which i don’t, as it’s not really my favourite town… though in saying that, it does appear to have improved in the last 10 years, which was the last time i stopped there.

It’s half way through January and i still have my gallery Christmas opening hours up as my last blog post… so much for new years resolutions!  Oh well, i can only move on from here and hope i can do better.  With that in mind i have this great image from Ivanhoe Crossing just out of Kununurra, in the East Kimberley Region, that i took back in July of last year.

Road Closed…!

The water is still raging after the huge wet season, and as you can see, the road is still closed…  I just love the irony of this actually being a road.  I think its something only someone who has been to the North of Australia would fully appreciate.  I’ve driven my car across this crossing before (not this trip!) and i have fished for Barramundi out in the middle of it (unsuccessfully unfortunately), but i don’t think i’d be wading out there now.

James Price Point looking North from the Gas precinct… clearly a place of no significance

The Exhibit for James Price Point held up in Broome recently was a huge success, due to the hard work of those involved, Nigel Gaunt, Helen Bailey, Rod Hartvigsen to name just the three i know of…
I know there were many more as it was a huge venture.  You can watch a video of the opening night shot by Rod right here.

Hopefully this exhibition will travel down to Perth and then onto the rest of Australia, the more people who see it the better.  The only reason this abhorrent gas proposal has gotten this far is the isolation of the Kimberley and that not enough people realise what we will lose.

The battle is not over, but we are winning.

The exhibition is up on the wall, the programs are all printed and its only 3pm, i’ve got time to spare… so i thought i’d share what i’ve put on the wall at the beginning of the images.  I’m sure i’ll offend somebody, but, some people are just easy to offend.  lets see.

The Kimberley – A Photographic Exploration

The Kimberley gets into your blood with the red pindan, it simply becomes a part of you, and you become a small part of it.  It is a difficult place to leave and it will always call you back. Read the rest of this entry »

The clock is ticking on the opening for the Kimberley Exhibition and i’m almost there.  If  you haven’t seen the invite you can check it our here.  One of the images to feature big in the exhibit will be this one of Mitchell Falls, Mitchell Plateau National Park from the last trip through the Kimberley.

Spectacular big sky at Mitchell Falls

I spent a total of 3 months travelling through the Kimberley this time, and just after the biggest wet season on record.  Many roads were so badly damaged by the immense amount of water that they were shut well into the dry season Read the rest of this entry »

Cathedral Gorge Amphitheatre in the Bungle Bungles

The  Kimberley exhibition (see previous post) is in 2 weeks, and i’m madly working on new images, i thought this would be a good opportunity for a preview.  I just printed this image of Cathedral Gorge Read the rest of this entry »

Have you been wondering what all the fuss is about in the Kimberley?  Where is the Kimberley anyway?  Isn’t it just an empty place of no special significance?

If you would like to know  the answer to these questions come down to Little Creatures Brewery in Fremantle at 6.30pm on October the 20th Read the rest of this entry »

I’m back… Back from the Kimberley, and back in Blog land.  I’ve actually been back in Fremantle for a month now, but i’ve been so busy catching up with everything that had been put on hold, that time to write on the Blog never materialised… also, i am a great procrastinator, possibly one of the best, and anything to do with writing is what i’m best at procrastinating about Read the rest of this entry »

Mitchell Falls from the chopper

I just dropped into Kununurra for a couple of days of repairs and restocking after about 3 weeks on the Gibb River Rd and the Kulumbaru Rd in the middle of the Kimberley.  I’ve got so much new stuff to show that i barely know where to start, and i’ve run out of time now, so i’ll have to just put a couple of favourites and leave the rest til the next internet zone…

The Mitchell Falls opened this year only a day ahead of me on the Gibb, so i was able to get up there after thinking i would have to skip it this year.  The road was so badly damaged it took the road crews months to make it passable again after the biggest wet season on record… ever!

Crab Creek sunset

Tomorrow we set off across the Gibb River Rd on the way to Kununurra, so there probably wont be any posts on the blog for a couple of weeks, so i’ll leave you with some pictures of Crab Creek that i took last night on the low tide.

Crab Creek is a beautiful beach on Roebuck Bay Read the rest of this entry »
