This balancing rock near Canberra is hard to get to now, with all the regrowth form the 2004 bushfires. Many places that are photogenic are darned near impossible to get to!

However, being very close to the road, it's not too bad to fight your way through the scrub and try to find a place to put the tripod down.

It's so peaceful being alone in the dark out bush. I feel safer out there than in the suburbs and very much at home. While the camera does it's job, it's a time of reflection and uninterrupted thought away from the distractions of civilisation.

Looking up, one's world and it's problems shrink away to nothing as your mind reaches outwards to infinity and all it's possibilities.
