The outback is very flat and any rain (even short ones) can build up water really quickly. For ants that could become potential deadly when the water runs into their ant nest. So when rain is on the horizon

I was walking in this little gorge the other day and noticed the view when you look. The trees did survive numerous fires and surviving really well in this gorge, which protects them from the elements.

During a walk over lunch time I came across this beautiful caterpillar. It was 40 degrees day, in the middle of the day and you usually don't see much wild life around. It is just too hot but this caterpillar

A few months ago I went for a walk into a gorge with a dried out river bed. It was really hot but along the way I found this amazing flower. I had to take a photo because for me it looks very artificial

The sunset was almost finished and the temperature was starting to drop so we had a little campfire going to keep us warm. I guess the emu had the same idea and decided to join us. Over 30 minutes he came

Just imaging a very dry, dusty area, clay soil, only some hardy scrubs that don't need much water. Then you come accross this cluster of grubs trying to stay alive in this challenging area. Just amazing.

Before electricity was available the australian windmills were use to pump water up for live stock or to move it between irrigations. In 1987 the first wodden windmill was build and ever since a very common

Based on the positive feedback during the last few days I decided to start a "Amazing Outback" series that publishes photos taken in the Australian Outback. Those photos will show any interesting

We were about to start serving dinner and an emu joined us. Must have smelled the good food

Who needs computers, ipads, laptops, playstation or any other screens when you have a beautiful sunset in the outback. Kids loved it and we spent quality time together taking those pictures. Enjoy Secret
