Landscape photograph featuring a large, vertically oriented piece of pale, gnarled driftwood ("snag") partially submerged in the green water of the Murray River.

The snag is positioned directly against a dense wall of tall, golden brown reeds, with darker trees and foliage visible in the background above the reeds.

A photograph of an old, small, stone pump shed or outbuilding near Orroroo, featuring a rusted corrugated iron roof.

The structure is nestled on a dry, arid slope and surrounded by Australian bushland, including eucalyptus trees and fallen branches, under a clear blue sky.

A still winter shoreline captures the quiet moment before nightfall. Reflections of bare trees and distant apartment blocks soften across the calm water, turning Stroomi Beach into a muted mirror. In monochrome, the scene becomes a study in quiet, texture, and the gentle melancholy of dusk by the Baltic Sea.

A low angle, medium shot of a small, dark, cylindrical metal object, which is an old wheel rimm used as a fire pot, resting on dry, brown grass.

A light grey, flat slab of stone sits on top of the metal base, which is topped by a single, round, textured brown rock. The background is blurred, consistent dry field grass.

Black and white photograph capturing a frontal, symmetrical view of a historic stone church's facade.

Features include a large Gothic style arched window with white tracery, two smaller side entrances, and a cross atop the main gable. Dark trees frame the structure on the left against a bright sky.

A photographic image of a male red-rumped parrot (Psephotus haematonotus) standing on bright green mowed grass with a grey concrete footpath in the background. The bright emerald-green parrot has a golden belly, brown eyes and a blade of grass in his shiny dark-grey beak.

Since I'm new here, I thought I'd post one of my favourite photos of all time!

Here's a male red-rumped parrot, (Psephotus haematonotus) otherwise known as a grass parrot, enjoying a tasty snack as he forages in the lawn next to a footpath.

Photograph showing a wide, weather beaten wooden jetty or pier extending toward the viewer from the water's edge.

A large, dark backed Australian Pelican stands near the centre, surrounded by dozens of smaller birds, primarily Crested Terns and Silver Gulls, which are perched on the deck and the wooden pilings. The water is choppy and gray.

A photograph of a small, shadowed forest creek with multiple fallen logs covered in dark green moss bridging the water. 

The creek flows through a dense bed of ferns, with large, reddish brown fern fronds hanging down from the upper left. 

The light catches the water and the tips of some ferns.

Black and white photograph showing a long view down the unused tracks and platform of Mildura Railway Station.

The platform, made of wood and brick, extends from the left under a cantilevered metal awning. The rails recede sharply into the distance under an overcast sky. The image conveys a sense of stillness and historical solitude.

The roof is corrugated iron with three pointed dormers, topped by a stone cross silhouette against a heavily clouded sky. The texture of the stone wall is visible below the roofline.

Black and white photograph showing the upper portion of a wooden utility pole against a bright, featureless sky.

The focus is on two ceramic insulators connecting three twisted aerial cables, two above and one below the insulators. The image is cropped to emphasise the pattern and texture of the wires and the contrast of the pole.
