“Outback Christmas Trees” (Derby, The Kimberley, Western Australia) - Although Australia does not have any native Christmas trees of the traditional variety, I reckon these majestic boabs provide a fine substitute!  The large seed pods act like natural baubles hanging from the branches and the fiery outback sunset provides the light!

“Spider Walk” (The Pilbara, Western Australia) – This image was taken in the section of Hancock Gorge known as the "Spider Walk" just before reaching Kermit's Pool.  The steep gorge walls are only about a metre apart here and this section can be navigated with both arms and legs spread apart touching either side of the gap - just a like a spider.  I found it much easier however just to make my way carefully down the waterfall itself!

“The Descent” (The Pilbara, Western Australia) – This view marks the end point of the Grade 5 hike / scramble down Hancock Gorge.  To progress beyond this area requires a guide or accreditation to abseil on natural surfaces.  The waterfall sliding down into Regan’s Pool looks inviting however it would be highly dangerous to indulge in this plunge! 

Greg's Big Tree (East Kimberley, Western Australia) One of the great pleasures of my Kimberley adventures was sharing them with my family (wife, kids, mum and dad).  Dad (Greg) is a keen photographer in his own right and this massive boab in the Cockburn Ranges quickly became his favourite location.  So this one is for you Dad!

“Devils Marbles Glow” (Devil's Marbles, Northern Territory) – The Devil's Marbles South of Tennant Creek is an incredible photographic location with an array of large balancing rocks strewn around the desert landscape.  The surrounding area is quite flat allowing for wonderful low warming light to glow on the marbles during sunrise and sunset.

“Warming Kimberley Light” (East Kimberley, Western Australia) – Whilst scouting the general area surrounding Parry’s Creek Lagoon, I was excited to find this beautiful young boab standing alone like a guard over the surrounding plains. I decided that a sunrise would work well here and the next day I rose early to make the one hour drive from our El Questro accommodation to this spot.  It was well worth the early wake up!

“Guiding Light” (East Kimberley, Western Australia) – For a short period towards the middle of the day, the walls of Echidna Chasm in Purnululu National Park reflect direct light from the cliffs high above onto the lower walls making this this narrow section of Chasm glow intensely.  This effect only lasts for half an hour or so however is incredibly beautiful.  To my surprise we had the whole place to ourselves during the entire light show!

“Kermit's Pool” (The Pilbara, Western Australia) – Kermit's Pool is the fantastic reward for swimming and rock hopping through Hancock Gorge.  The colours of the gorge walls and this pool in particular are truly a sight to behold.  The small waterfall entering Kermit's Pool tops off a sensational scene and is a great spot for a refreshing swim on a hot day!  The light patch in the background of this scene is reflected light from the towering cliffs and is where the pool spills down a water chute into Regan's Pool.
