taken from a lookout, vantage point, when nearing our end of day destination at Glen Helen Gorge. The West MacDonnell Ranges forming a majestic backdrop.
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.
at the base of the tree, a termite nest
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.
There's more from Glen Helen Gorge to come.

Hi Carole,
Beautiful scenery is there.
The termite nest in the tree is special.
Photo 3 I love.
Thank you for posting your accounts and pictures of places I'd love to go to myself but will never get to see in person. I once lived in Melbourne and Perth but now live in my birth place in Canada. As I read your blog, wonderful sounds and fragrances are recalled, so you could say I have enhanced appreciation.
Oh I would so love to see all of this. I bet it was incredible to witness.
Such deep rich colours Carole. I can understand why you were continually clicking away.
i love the 1st shot - that is an amazing view. awesome times. ( :
hope you are well.
The area is soooo gorgeous!
I was surprised by the termite nest!!
What an impressive landscape.
Love it!
So fascinating to see where these cute little birds would live in the wild. I have had several of them for pets and have so enjoyed them.
Definitely inspiring :D)
