Goldfields


rode from Maldon to Castlemaine and back this Easter
posing in front of this old, old house in Muckleford.

all these pics are big, double-click jobs btw



littered with mine shafts



and amazing rock formations
that patina only took a few hundred thousand years


I'm sure if you tried you could sandblast it to get those unsightly blemishes off it



the whole area is incredibly dry
with no large water source other than artesian
and the trees seemingly dead
but then new growth like this


the forest so grey it creates a fog in your peripheral vision
a haunted, unsettling place
perfectly suited to these guys...


you might see the grey kangaroo looking back at you
but can you see his friend hopping away?
simply awesome adaptation to their environment
