Australia 2010

These are photos from Australia taken in June and July 2010. Our photo journey took us to the Bungle Bungle (yes, two words) region of the Kimberley mountains in Western Australia, then to Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia, and ended in the Flinders Range in the northern part of South Australia. The landscapes and wildlife were spectacular and we hope these photos give you some idea of what we saw. Also see Julie's photos as a separate gallery. Thanks to Jack and Chris Halbert for their expertise as tour guides in Western Australia and Kangaroo Island. Rainer
