iPhonography

Question: Is a photograph art or merely a visual recording of people, time and space?

Answer: When 600km of some of the most stony and corrugated road in the country lies between your camera and its memory card, it doesn't make one scrap of difference.

After leaving the caravan at Kununurra and heading up to Kalumburu (Kal-um-boo-roo)(a remote Aboriginal community on the northern-most point of Western Australia), we discover that the memory card for the camera is safely stowed in the caravan. With the camera being as useless as an ash tray on a motorbike, we bring you our northern exposure by iPhone...

The edge of a precipice with three kids is a nerve-racking affair. Mitchell Falls.

M and J imitate rock art figures that we learnt so much about on this trip.

The driving seemed to go on forever, we lost some stuff off our roof and were muscled out of the most remote campground we have been to by some drunken yobbos (albeit in a dry community), but we had some great moments learning about the history of the Kimberleys, aboriginal artwork and modern ways of life. A great education for all of us.

And in a stroke of good luck, after passing lots of people with flat tyres all along the gravel roads, we got one as we returned to the caravan park at Kununurra!
