Dawn at Burrumbeet cave

Jump to Comments

My dear friend Steevie is heading North soon, probably for good. He’s got a fancy schmancy new dslr that he used to take this photo on Burrumbeet cave in the Budawang National Park. Wish I’d been there.

Click to embiggen, it’s amazing. Reproduced with his permission, but like he could stop me. Heh.

    Wow.

    That’s so unlike the bushland around here…you forget the variety (well, I do).

    That brings back memories of a bushwalking childhood! Waking up to a foggy morning, still snuggled up in the sleeping bag while watching the grownups get billies of tea and rib-sticking porridge going, and just watching the world gradually light up.

    Marvellous.

    Spectacular indeed. Makes me want to hop in the car and head out of the city right now.

    That really is a beautiful photo. Also, it looks like a sheep.

    Pshaw. You should see the view in the *other* direction.

    I hate your friend Steevie. A lot.

    But I take satisfaction in that it looks like that dark spot on the mid-east of the screen could be the headless horseman, stealing from the dense woods to savagely claim his noggin.

    Yeah. Jealous.

    That is exactly how I imagine the cave in Nan Chauncy’s They found a cave, which is a great Oz kid’s book but out of print. You must snap it up for Sage if you see a second hand copy. Boychild is named after one of the children in the story.

    Hi Zoe, and commenters

    I’m glad you like the pic; I was very chuffed when Zoe insisted on posting it here. And yes is a lovely cave, and yes yes it does look like a sheep, in a Coles Funny Picture Book kinda way.

    I’m just dropping a line here to let u know that my new website is open for business. Well, its open, but the ‘painters are still in’, to use a delightful metaphor, redolent with… redolence. I’ll post some actual content soon. About cattle, water tanks and fencing. But maybe I’ll start off with a true sighting of a giant jungle chicken.
