The home state of South Australia has some great offerings for walks, particularly in the Flinders Ranges.
One of the lesser known but well featured places in the more accessible southern Flinders is Telowie Gorge.
Amongst the array of rock walls, waterholes and constricted sections we found this colourful fellow sunning himself on the rocks.
He gave us this sort of "not amused" look as we passed him by.
Do we call that a stiff upper lip?

Evening over the Du Cane RangePeter Grant
Part of my extended Tarkine in Motion trip this year was a traverse of most of the northern Norfolk Range. A real test with a mix of delightfully easy, open walking, beautiful forests and sheer hell (aka over-the-head scrub).
The second last night I was camped on a knoll below Mabel, looking back at the ground I'd already covered and wondering where the next water would be. But when you wake up to something like this, things like that just don't matter.

It's always a moving Dawn Service at Splendour Rock on Anzac Day. We had walked in there, starting at 1am and arriving at 5am, just as the crowd started to assemble. At the conclusion of the service, we were greeted by a spectacular sunrise. An appropriate commemoration.

One more ticked off the "peaks to be revisited to see what the view is like" list, with a loop past Lake Tyndall and out to Sedgwick returning via Lake Margaret. Sleet caught up with me between Sedgwick and Adam, so an unplanned camp had me doing the traverse across to Sedgwick Bluff the next morning when the weather decided to be co-operative for once.

Worth a lookSnowzone
It was very late afternoon approaching winter and I was returning from a day of volunteer field work in the bush in the upper Blue Mountains. It was just early enough to fit in a short walk around dusk on the way home. Valley of the Waters is a favourite location and I decided to quickly drop down one of the shorter tracks to an overlook of the always impressive amphitheatre of Wentworth Falls. It was freezing as the sun dropped over the horizon, but I stayed long enough to capture this view over the massive sandstone walls before losing all useful light.
