Bullo River in Northern Territory, Australia

ShadowHawk

A few months ago, I was invited out to a cattle ranch in the Northern Territory in Australia. It was my first time in the true outback and had an absolute blast!:ivar

Bullo is about 800 km south of Darwin. Truely in the middle of no-where!

From Bull catching, Barramindi fishing, and drifitng down a croc infested gorge it was definately a holiday to remember!


Bull catching in action!



Loved the sights in the gorge



Misty dawn at a nearby billabong



The night sky was absolutely stunning! With no man made light to the horizon in all directions, the stars just came right out!



Interesting bushes



Casting the net for barra fishing




Catching a large barra!

They're all stunners, Mat. What an amazing place. But I gotta tell ya. That night-sky shot is off the charts. I guess that cloud shape is the Milky Way?

Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing them. I particularly like the night sky. I was stunned by a sight just like that last July when I was in Oz. I saw almost everything but the Northern Territory. Thanks, again!

I agree, totally jaw-dropping. I've never seen the sky like that... Guess I need to go to Australia!

Absolutely fantastic shots. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Sorry to repeat it, but the night sky is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

Looks like you had a great time.

Thanks
I like the first picture in particular, a real action shot. It reminds me of some of the things we got up to in the ten years we lived in Territory. (pre Tracy)

Beautiful capture of a nebula in your night sky shot. I am not up on the southern hemisphere. Do you know which one it is.

No I don't. Sorry mate. All I could do was just gasp when I looked up at the night-time sky! :oogle
