  1. Yes, THIS *WaS* My First Rodeo
    More photos from that great big day out, the Chinchilla rodeo, 2026.

    My first time at a rodeo, my first time photographing a rodeo. Done stoopid stuff like hanging too far back behind the fence, but still really impressed with the results a smoked-ham fisted amateur like myself can get with a Canon R10 and a Canon RF 1

  5. Raising Awareness Around Snake Safety

    Australian snakes are beautiful animals, but they can also be deadly.

    Eastern Brown snake at Chinchilla rodeo.

    A professional reptile expert from Precision reptiles at the 2026 Chinchilla rodeo demonstrated safe handling of some of Australia’s most dangerous snakes. It was such a fascinating display that I watched it twice.

    The professional snake handler explained that the Eastern Brown, Pseudonaja textilis, is Australia’s most dangerous snake. The Inland Taipan Oxyuranus microlepidotus, may be more venomous but the Eastern Brown is much more common and much more likely to come into contact with humans, and therefore a greater danger. He also explained the importance of (a) leaving snakes alone, and (b) good first aid knowledge, i.e. having proper snake bandages with you when you’re in the bush and knowing how to use them.

    It’s also very advisable to wear proper footwear and clothing when in the bush – a good pair of boots and long pants; thongs and shorts just won’t cut it.

    Snakes are amazingly beautiful creatures, and sad to think that many people’s first reaction is to want to kill them. And that’s often the reason why people get bitten, because they attack the snake and put themselves right into the danger zone. If you do encounter a snake, it’s best to stay still, keep back and let the snake move away of it’s own accord.

  7. Myall Park Botanic Gardens, Glenmorgan, Qld
    Slow camping in the peace and quiet of the bush.

    A female Rufous Whistler cautiously approaches the water at Myall Park. Photographed from the bird hide.

    Just outside the tiny hamlet of Glenmorgan, we found peace and quiet and a feel of what the bush must have been

    Welgemoed oder Rooiheuwel? Beide Gästefarmen sehen in der Tracks4Africa-App vielversprechend aus (außer, dass beide auch um Trophäenjäger als Gäste werben), beide liegen an der gleichen kleinen Hinterlandschotterpiste irgendwo zwischen dem Karoo-Städtchen Fraserburg und der Karoo-"Metropole" Beaufort-West. Bei dererlei Gästefarmen ist es ratsam, vorher Kontakt aufzunehmen. Manchmal gibt es sie gar nicht mehr. Oder sie werden gerade renoviert. Oder die Campsite ist gerade überflutet worden.
