Lookout…
by Rodney Campbell on Oct.08, 2015, under Life, Photography
Leaving Spring Creek we headed south through Halls Creek and the started heading West.
We were planning to stay the night at Mary Pool Rest Area however it was quite full when we arrived. The place looked quite nice and the large ford across the river to get there was interesting.

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 28 mm, 1/160 sec at f/8, ISO 100
We decided to continue on to the next rest area which in a stroke of very good fortune was Ngumban Cliff Lookout.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
We literally backed the caravan right up to the edge of the small cliff and our view was fantastic.
This is a panoramic view (fourteen (14) vertical frames) looking from near the caravan across to the lookout beside us.

The photographic opportunities right here at the doorstep at this lookout were spectacular. Besides the wondrous location, this lone tree on the edge of the lookout in particular was a huge drawcard. I had lots of plans for this tree over the coming evening and next morning before we left :). I spent two good hours wandering around the area checking out the location and the wildlife, taking photos before dinner.
