Hi Stuart,

One of my favourite parts of Australia. Beautiful shots. I particularly like the
vistas in the first and last shots. Thanks for sharing!

Stuart,

Magnificent series.

For me, however, the first shot takes the cake.

It resonates with a lot of the work that I do.

The image imparts and provides a grand sense of scale.

I would love to shoot sunrise and sunset out that way.

Once again, wonderful portfolio.

Regards,
Humayun

That's a particularly picturesque area in the Pilbura .... beats the billard table on the coast .... Tom Price and Parraburru are also very picturesque (out of town).

Not been to Newman , but Port and South Hedland are .... well boring scenary wise , in that here is no scenary , and all the big trees get blown down every few years when big tropical cyclones hit the coast.

You on FIFO or living at Newman ?
