(No. 10)
Glen Helen Gorge, West of Alice Springs
Glen Helen Gorge is a very beautiful water hole, in the cut which the Finke River makes through the West MacDonnel Ranges. Except in bad droughts, there is usually
good water here and it is cooler in the shadow of the cliffs.
(No. 11)
Plains South of Alice Springs, 1997
This early-morning photo of the plains 30 km south of Alice Springs was taken in a season after good rains. The red earth shows through, but there is plenty of
grass for the kangaroos (one is jumping away as the photo was taken). The combination of bush and scattered trees is very typical. There is an eagle in one of the
trees.

(No. 28)
Aerial View of Dry Creek Bed near Utopia, 1999
Creeks and rivers in central Australia only contain water for a period of days or weeks after rain, but the land remains moist for much longer and supports denser
growth of plants. The white areas are salt crystals in clay pans.
