    { 2008-08-20 }

    2008 has been a busy year, with Hugh having just returned from a trip into the wilds of the Congo Basin in Central Africa. Here, he encountered gorillas in the wild and photographed pygmies that had never had white contact.

    { 2008-06-15 }

    Recently returned from a trip along the Kimberley Coast photographing some of the World's oldest and most priceless indigenous rock art. It is thought that these paintings may well hold the key to helping trace mankind's early movements around the globe.

Flora and Fauna

“I saw a stand of white Ashburton Peas on the way to Tom Price the other day.”
“ Hmmm.  Are they very common?”

“Nope.”

“As rare as the white Sturt Desert Pea?”

“Probably rarer.  It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one, and I’ve been in the Pilbara for over fifty years.”

“Hmmm.”

“Opportunity knocks but once,” said Meg.

“Damn”, I thought.

And so started, a detour of about four hundred kilometres, and an addition to what was going to be a relatively easy eight hundred kilometre drive from where I was staying in Wittenoom to Broome.   It was now going to be a 1200 kilometre day, and was going to finish up driving at around midnight.  “I’ll have the photos, and forget the pain” I figured.

The following pages incorporate some of Hugh’s favourite plant and animal shots taken over the past ten years: some after waiting in torrential rain; more than one after detouring for hundreds of kilometres.  Enjoy!
