There were many photos from a wonderful day visit to Bruno's Gardens, that I'd shared some years back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tragically, fires swept through this township soon afterwards, destroying Bruno's hard work .... but certainly not his spirit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can read from Bruno's website <i><a href="http://www.brunosart.com/aftermath.html">here</a></i>, what happened then, and how he with many helpers, have worked together and regenerated this wonderful tourist attraction in Marysville, Victoria.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

It's tandem-farewells today from both Snap Happy Online, and Snap Happy Birding. I left the first post on my original blog, a little earlier. You can read it <i><a href="http://dragonfly47.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/is-there-better-way-to-say-goodbye.html">here</a></i>.</div>

our group had already flown from Uluru to Alice Springs, time to enjoy a coffee while waiting at the airport then for this flight to Sydney. Farewell to Alice, a fantastic destination I'll never forget.<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting Snap Happy Online recently, and sharing some magical locations with me.<br />

Surprisingly, I was still in for it!<br />

It was on the 21st June when I started posting on my fabulous journey to N.T<i>. <a href="http://snaphappyonline.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/a-little-from-my-recent-trip-to-alice.html">here</a> </i>and there's probably only two more posts I can squeeze out before my red-dirt Australia header will be taken down. I so enjoyed this trip, that country is AMAZING, and know from your comments that this wonderful part of Australia has been of great interest to those of you who visit this blog also.</div>

Thank you always for coming back, and especially for your comments; it makes 'blogging' itself so rewarding to know someone is watching out for your posts and dropping by every now and then.</div>

the smaller print reads: "the fence had a spear (non-return) gate which was wired open most of the time to allow cattle to move back and forth to drink. Come mustering time, the spear gate was closed. Cattle could move in but not out and became trapped.<br />

Signage from Parks and Wildlife Service read:<br />
"to the Luritja people, the spirit of a Rainbow Serpent lives in this deep waterhole. It protects the waterhole and others in the area which they believe are joined by underground tunnels.<br />
<br />
The Luritja people have looked after this waterhole since the beginning of time. They are careful not to anger the Rainbow Serpent. Without its protection the waterhole would soon dry up. They camp well away, approach the waterhole respectfully and never swim here."<br />

Some outdoor chores had been achieved already, and it was time to wind back with caffeine. It smelt good, and it tasted good. That's sounding a little counter-productive I know, when caffeine is said to actually, wind you up, instead.<br />
<br />
And, while I was drifting somewhat ... with random thoughts, well ahead along the garden path, this butterfly landed. Well there was my photo opportunity, since camera was right there too. Pretty much, it is one of just four butterflies that I might ever see around here.<br />

Nasturtiums, olde-worlde, and I enjoy their vibrancy and reliability. Good self-seeders, and easy to weed out when 'finished'. Another plus is that the bees love them too. </div>

Kings Creek is a very special place for the Luritja Aboriginal Traditional Custodians of Watarrka. They know it as Watarrka Karru (karru means creek), a ceremony place on a native cat (quoll) dreaming track. In the Dreaming, native cat men, kuningka, travelled from the southwest along this creek and had important ceremonies at the foot of the waterfall.</div>

the trees here regularly have to surive both floods and years of drought with little or no rains. After big rains, you can find water under the sandy creekbed for many months.<br />

Young saplings sprout and shoot up using this underground reservoir. The taller they get, the deeper their roots penetrate into the sand and the greater the chance they have of finding water during dry times. Being tall with deep roots also means they don't get washed away by floodwater.<br />

Signage from the Parks and Wildlife Service of Northern Territory read in part: "Aboriginal people have extracted ochre from these cliffs for thousands of years. The ochre from here is still used by Western Arrernte people, mainly for ceremonial purposes".<br />

and more interesting information gleaned from this sign:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yellow ochre, the dominant colour of these cliffs, is caused by a mixture of white clay and iron oxide (rust).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
White ochre has very little or no iron. The white colour comes from kaolin, a white clay mineral.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tiny fragments of mica and quarts give the ochre a shiny quality.</div>

Finally!! I had the opportunity to find these butterflies when at Carnarvon Gorge, Central Qld. I'm hoping I've identified them correctly. It really was engaging to watch them and follow with my camera.<br />

So at a closer glance, it has been quite amazing, the changes, as our group walked around the base of Uluru last month. I know it was a lot of red dirt to kick up as we trekked 8 kms or so, but it was pretty worthwhile don't you think? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now we can go meet up with the coach -- aaah, that means I can ditch the camera and hat for a bit and take the weight off my feet. We're heading on over to the Cultural Centre for lunch. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I chose the ... think it was called Outback Beef Steak Pie - which happened to be quite unique!! It was shaped like a big sausage roll - and it tasted so good. Was a neat way to eat a pie too in that shape, it didn't want to ooze all over your hand; much easier to eat that way. More pies should be shaped like sausage rolls I reckon.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Since I had to wait so long in the queue to get the pie in the first place, then wait for my number to be called to pick up my coffee --- all I could think of was to eat/drink (and be merry), and forgot all about taking a photo of this pie. At least I could have shared it with you.</div>

what's that?! Someone climbing up there?! Keen. Not only would they be getting buffeted by the winds, but it's considered nowadays, to be disrespectful (to the indigenous owners), and it is requested that you not climb Uluru anymore. However, the safety rail fencing from earlier days when it was the touristy thing to do, is still in place. It would be quite some arduous hike! I wonder how far they went?</div>

Word was passed on, late in the afternoon, that an echidna (also known as Spiny Anteater) was seen, down by the Wilderness Retreat pool. Light was starting to fade but with a few adjustments to camera ....</div>

On the first morning in Alice Springs, N.T., I'd taken a walk after breakfast to see if I could get an advance on any birding opportunity before the group met outside the foyer to get on board the coach.<br />
<br />

Photographed at the same location, this beautiful flower, is the Sturt's Desert Rose. Facts on this floral emblem of the Northern Territory, are written <span style="color: #990000; font-style: italic;">here. </span>In a ceremony marking the granting of self-government, the Northern Territory flag was raised on July 1 in 1978, and it included a stylised version of this flower in white.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was just after 6pm, and while at the Glen Helen Resort, this was the pathway to go view the sunset. A fair walk up to the ridge, and then there was an equally long pathway turning off to the left.</div>

but moments before, I'd been looking at these fabulous Sturts Desert Peas. More of those another post though...just thought I'd sneak that one in. They're the floral emblem for South Australia.</div>

and then there was this! People gathering under the tree for the sunset. There was even a mini-bar set up from the pub where our group would be having dinner afterwards, just down another walkway. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How unique was this I thought! Or is it that I just don't get around much anymore?? No that's not true; I made it all the way here after-all. As we go about our daily lives though, things like this are happening around the globe; quite fascinating. </div>

Midway along the Overland Telegraph line from Darwin to Adelaide, this Telegraph Station, opened in 1872, played a key role in Australia's development.<br />

The line suddenly reduced the isolation of Australians from the rest of the world. The exchange of personal and business messages now took hours instead of the months it previously took by sea.<br />
<br />
With long or short taps on his Morse key, a Telegraph operator sent coded messages of electrical pulses to the next station on the line.<br />

Telegraph station families travelled in buggies like this to the railhead at Oodnadatta or to nearby picnic spots. Simpsons Gap, 25 kilometres from the station, was the furthest limit for a day's picnic. A trip out there was a special occasion. 50 kilometres in a day, with a full load, was as much as the horses could manage.</div>

The camel drivers were commonly referred to as Afghans but many were from neighbouring Pakistan and northern India. Their tracks stretched across two thirds of the country, into places where railways did not reach and horses could not travel. <br />

Our group had been picked up in two 4-WD vehicles at 7 a.m. from Glen Helen Gorge, N.T. It was a very crispy start to the day, and after a <i>very</i> bumpy ride over the Finke Riverbed, we all enjoyed this beautiful stop for morning-tea. Shame no pics from the riverbed since there was no way to hold a camera steady through the window! <br />

I chose to stroll around with my cuppa in hand, and pick up some photographs before we continued on. That meant taking in the unique view, so different to that near home, enjoying the coffee, and considering the next photo must-have. Every now and then, my coffee cup was rested on the ground, while I got a grip on my camera instead.</div>

it's now 4.49 pm., and our tour group have just arrived. Left luggage in my room so's to take a walk down by the Finke River waterhole, to get these photos before end of day. The following COLD morning, we would be leaving at 7 a.m. for 4WD experience to Palm Valley.<br />

I could hear budgerigars in these trees; I guess they were making the most of the sun up high and starting to roost too. I walked under these trees then, and yes I could see them, but small birds as they are, and up so high; too much branches/leaves to pick up any photos of. Close, but not close enough ...still, I was really pleased to see budgerigars in the wild for the very first time.</div>

Just incredible to witness scenes like this, during this journey. I constantly had the camera to my face so I'd have the memories recorded to take home with me. I could've easily sat there for hours though with a cuppa in hands, just taking it all in, everywhere we travelled to.<br />
<br />
There's more from Glen Helen Gorge to come.</div>
