Larapinta Dharma Yatra 2009 (continued)

Winding our way to Ormiston Gorge

 

Larapinta Yatra Return (1)

Not in harbourside greens
or gentle pacific blues
are my dreams
but all in fierce wild red of glowing rock

 

 

 

 

 

Waterfall Gorge    

 

 

 

     

 

 

Larapinta Yatra Return (2)

The daily tides of city life
Scrub and scrub and scrub
But the red stain of desert dust
Won't leave this soul
