Amazing Pilbara images

Reading older blog posts The Doc noticed he has said there are lots of Pilbara images, but had not posted them. That is now remedied, here is a selection. Images from Karijini National Park, it sur…

Australia is far more beautiful than I ever realised, I thought it was just beaches, cities by beaches and wide open spaces of not a lot. A few scabby trees, the odd dusty mining town and huge farms.
Thank you for educating me with your fabulous website

Another installment is coming, more of the Pilbara. It is SO red because of the high iron content in the rocks. Some of these hills are made of high grade iron ore.

Lots of people just drive through the Pilbara to the Kimberley, but the Pilbara is stunning.

And the rocks are very old in this part of Australia.

The Pilbara is more than just spinfex and iron ore. This image is from Kalamina Gorge.

The Great Northern Highway, it might be Mount Bruce in the background.

More images here from a the Pilbara P&S images (Part 1).

The Doc also carries around a Point & Shoot camera and these images are from that camera. They are what The Doc calls “explorer images”, but they also have some memorising panorama …

Part 2 of the Point & Shoot Pilbara images.

The greenest spinifex I have ever seen.

The old faithful GU Patrol and Pod trailer.

Sturt Desert Pea, it has a purple eye, not black, in northern Australia.

More images here, with lots and lots of big panoramas of the vast Pilbara.

I've been there too. A well-known film was shot there once. But I can't remember which one right now.

Lots of films shot there including a James Bond one, but I suspect the one you are thinking of is the Highlander

Yes, That's the one. Thanks.

Being a grey, he loves mud, usually when you are just about to put his saddle on.

Bungle Bungles from the ground.

Are all your horses headless?
Any chance of some face's?

About 16,000km from home on the Isle of Lewis.
The astounding Callanish stone circle (predates Pyramids and Stonehenge) . We've now completed the grand slam of large megalithic sites in the UK and Ireland , plus dozens of lesser ones.
Also today did the 7 mile Great Bernera coastal walk.
The island is very gneiss as @TheDocAUS would say. Very foldy too!
As a footnote , other parts of the Hebrides are composed of large amounts of anorthosite - almost pure feldspar - as on the mountains of our moon.

At McDonald's totally. I like to think the chik fil a employees are a little happier.

Speaking of chick fil a, the Grenadier isn't in their vehicle database, either.

It looks like it has been a great trip. Quite a few countries covered now.

I am feeling like I am back in Geology classes now.

A tremendous learning experience as always. I feel like I'm in geography, history, biology, physics and chemistry classes! A happy place for me. If only I'd studied the Gaelic language. It's completely double Dutch and I'm surrounded by it

Revisiting the Bungles Bungles from the air. I missed taking a photograph of the giant bees that built the hives.

The helicopter trip at the Bungles is a must do. It is so different when you get up into the air.

They call them bee hives formations, for obvious reasons. The Bungles are the largest in the world. These rock formations are rare across the world.

Just add formation after bee hives!
