Mt Macedon, Sanatorium Lake, Daylesford


Been slackin off the blog again for a second, here's a bunch of pics from when my mate Dave and i
cruised around the Shire of Hepburn one arvo, just checkin stuff out.
boredom will do that.

We started at the memorial cross, which is on top of a section in the Macedon Ranges, wanted to get a feel / view of the surrounding countryside. it was the chilliest, windy winters day up there.

the dogs of Groote Eylandt


So anyway, in case you forgot. last year i moved to Groote Eylandt  in the N.T for 8 or so months.
There was heaps of mangy mutts there, so i started photographing them.
All these pics were taken in and around Angurugu on 35mm with various cameras.

Angurugu is predominantly an indigenous community and the dogs are pretty much left to do whatever they want. Half the time they would sleep in the very middle of the road and you had to drive around em, pretty funny. they didn't give a rats.

The best thing i heard about the dogs is that they would send em in first to any water suspected of housing the giant reptilians we know as crocs
If the dogs didn't come out, you didn't go swimming.
No offence to dogs though, i love my daaaawwwwggggsss

i think this is all the dog photos i got, although i still have a stack of rolls to be processed, so who knows, there may be a part 2.
