October Squares – Final Review and Wrap Up

Day 28 – Bonus Square

This ‘Lumpy Line’ is a shot of Kata Tjuta (formerly known as “The Olgas”) in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory.

There are some amazing shots here from our time there, but for perspective, check out this photo.  There are two tiny white dots right in the middle of the photo (atop a mound).  That’s two other bushwalkers descending from Karingana Lookout.

Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta are incredibly awe-inspiring and I would love to return one day.

Day 29 – Shore Line

This is the view of the Twelve Apostles beyond the Barrier Lines I shared back on Day 7 of Becky’s challenge.  Only seven of the original eight stacks remain – you can see the collapsed stack in the foreground.  There are other stacks further west, though they were never considered part of the group of eight that was officially named the Twelve Apostles.

They are located along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, an incredibly scenic drive that is the world’s longest War Memorial, built to commemorate the service of sailors and soldiers during the great war (World War I).

You can find more photos here (including the entire photo I cropped this square from).

Day 30 – Cradle Line

When we arrived at Cradle Mountain Tasmania, I was like a kid in a candy store with money to burn, because this was ‘the’ reason for visiting Tasmania.  (Read what I had to say about that here – I was ‘Almost Beyond Words’.)

Although the weather was bitter, and our stay was only short, we packed in a lot of bushwalking and had an unforgettable time and I do hope to return again one day.

You can read more about our brief time there here where there’s a couple of photo carousels to enjoy.  To see those carousel photos a bit larger, click here and here and then click any photo to enlarge and scroll through the collection.

I loved Tasmania, more than anywhere else we found ourselves, and could easily have set down roots.

Day 31 – Horizon Line

I believe this is the most stunning photograph I have ever taken.

Certainly, back in 2016, with my trusty Panasonic FZ70 Lumix, I was thrilled to capture the wet sand reflection of the colours that were flooding the sky just before sunrise.  You can find more photos I took that morning here.

We were almost home.  At least at that point, we were back to where we started and looking for a new home.  As it turned out, we purchased a block of land and had a new home built (I had lots to say about that while it was being built).
