Outback of Australia

Atop the only rise for 500 miles I prepared to get a few Outback sunset shots. Then, as though from nowhere, a car appeared, out sprang the occupants who rushed into my foreground to get their point and shoot shots. Every adversity is an opportunity, this photo bombing was mine.

A spectacular sunset on the western plains of New South Wales and the only three for miles to break the hosizon.
Sunset on the endless flat plains of outback South Australia. This shot taken at Coober Pedy, a town 846 Km north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called "dugouts", where most of the population live due to the scorching daytime temperatures.
The beautiful colours of the Australian outback. This shot was taken near Cooper's Creek/Windorah Qld on a recent trip to Birdsville Qld.
Looking forward to catching up with all of your images :-)
As I took the shot, I glands to the left and saw a ball running towards me was a quick dash over the fence
Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I'll be offline for a couple of days. We'll be visiting my sister-in-law and there's no net access there. Thanks for the recent comments and faves. I love reading them when I can get the chance. Also, my latest blog updates are here and here if you're interested.

The reptile.
It is only the hardest of the hardy that can survive in the Australian outback.
This is one of those outback survivors.

My travelling companion, a visitor from Chile, took this shot through the windscreen when we came up behind a truck somewhere in outback South Australia. Of course, he had his eye on the map of Australia on the back of the trailer, and the Kangaroo warning sign

Saturday Self Challenge: Pink
I was a little spoiled for choice this week, and actually put together a collage of pink, with a sunset, pink rock-face, pink grasses and this flower. However. in the end I chose to use just this one blossom as we have really appreciated their bright blossoms as we continue to drive or go on bushwalks.
Across the Northern Territory, the blossoms of the pink Turkey Bush provide a splashes of colour against the dry topical savannah forest. Belonging to the Myrtaceae family, the plants grow to a height of up to two metres.
The flowers attract insects, and butterflies, provide shelter and refuge for small reptiles, mammals, and birds and is used by wallabies as a shade plant.
Indigenous people used the plant for pain relief, as an insect repellant and for treating wounds.
