I have never regretted not taking a tripod more than on my traverse of the Wilmot and Frankland Ranges. Two nights were spent on Citadel Shelf, with the first night probably the most significant of all the times I needed a tripod. The Gell River fires had started but the smoke was only visible from the shelf as a filter for the sky. And what a sunset it produced.

Hyacinth Orchid (Dipodium punctatum), New South Wales John Walker

It was a pleasant surprise when visiting Anna Bay in New South Wales to find a 32 kilometres long beach backed by extensive sand dunes. This is Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in Worimi Conservation Lands. They are rated as the longest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere.

Deciding to explore in late afternoon, we climbed up and down various lines of dunes back of the beach before ascending steeply up the biggest 30 metre high dunes. On occasions the wind whistled through forming a sand haze over the dune crests. In parts wetter sand portions would be exposed. They appear as wind scored base layers over which the drier sand would pass, covering some while exposing others. A fantastic place to sit and watch the sun setting over dunes as far as one can see.

A very long time ago I walked the Port Davey Track. It's surprising and gratifying to see that the old line of McKays that we followed past the seismic research station and down to the plains still exists, and in places is a similar standard to the current track. One of the best things about it is the views it gives you of the Western Arthurs, especially early on a clear morning.

FlotsamBrian Eglinton

I've always enjoyed and admired ramrod straight tall trees, from Eucalyptus Deanii in the Blue Gum Forest relatively close to home, to magnificent mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans, the world's tallest flowering plant) further afield in the high country and Tasmania. It's disappointing that so many tall trees have been destroyed over the years through ignorance or otherwise. Tassie has an accessible grove of the most spectacular E. regnans at Mount Field National Park. I've been there many times on different trips and took this shot during a circuit walk through Lady Barron Falls. Sadly, bushfires were impacting alpine areas nearby at the time and I changed my more remote walking plans as a result. That led to the opportunity to photograph this wonderful tree, taking advantage of the prevailing light and aiming to emphasise its height.

The last glowJohn Walker

The long-distance Heysen Trail runs along the southern coast of Fleurieu Peninsula for several sections before heading inland to the hills.

The last beach on this part is Kings Beach which looks across to Rosetta Head near Victor Harbor.

This beach is a picturesque mix of boulders and sand. On this sunny day the wash of the waves had left pristine patterns in the sand among these rocks.
