Judbarra/Gregory National Park

As we drove across the Victoria River on the Victoria Highway near Timber Creek, we were enveloped in the wild splendor of the Australian outback yet again within Judbarra National Park. We decided to stop at a generous roadside park that provided an ideal viewpoint, from there we gazed in awe at the formidable sandstone cliffs that loomed over the vast plains, their ruggedness a striking contrast against the boundless blue sky. It was a moment of serenity, a pause to admire the breathtaking natural beauty that characterizes this iconic region of Australia’s Northern Territory. How are we ever going to leave this behind……. #victoriariver #victoriahighway #timbercreek #judbarragregorynationalpark #judbarranationalpark #northernterritoryaustralia #australianoutback #admiringtheview #naturelovers #viewsfordays #sandstonecliffs #outbackadventure #exploringaustralia #travelnorthernterritory #roadsidestop #australiaroadtrip #wilderness #caravanlifestyle #thegreatoutdoors #adventureawaits #travel #iconic #appreciatethelittlethings #ntaustralia #livinlocalnt

I was out on another camping trip two weeks ago and took advantage of the cloudless new moon. Doing massive long hikes during the day in every attempt to find the perfect location for star trail photography. After watching a beautiful sunset the exciting evening was about to begin! Had my camera and tripod all set up and once it was full dark and all the stars were on display, I hit 'Go' on the interval timer. For the next four hours, I did nothing but snacked on fruits, cheeses, cured meats, dips and bread paired with a nice Chardonnay. Gazed up into the sky of infinite stars and was simply mesmerised. So mesmerised I lost track of time. It was breathtaking! However, it eventually became too cold to stay out past midnight so I returned to my car and climbed into my sleeping bag. It has been well over two months since I last posted and as much as I would have loved to continue sharing my work, I wanted to learn how to use Photoshop and was doing exactly that for the past several weeks. Creating stair trails is no easy feat but I love doing it. I enjoying spending long hours in the cold, moonless nights (sometimes - sometimes it gets a little spooky) and spending long hours in stacking and blending the photos together, making sure I capture every little detail. The results are quite rewarding.
