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.

To balance this up we went on a gruelling (but also stunningly beautiful) full day hike into Piccinini Creek Gorge. Ironically, the one who suggested the hike up the Gorge decided not to come in the end. He missed out on some beautiful locations, but he also missed out on really sore feet that took 2 days to recover from! Read the rest of this entry »
