Stormy weather shrouds some remote high peaks in Wild Rivers National Park. The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area which covers approximately 1,584,000 hectares (3,914,149 acres), or 20% of the state of Tasmania, represents one of the last true forested wilderness regions on Earth. The rugged terrain experienced severe glaciation during the last ice ages and is littered with steep gorges and craggy peaks.

Anyone see a croc? When fishing in the red rock and white sand, of Bathurst Island you always have to be on the lookout for salt water crocodiles. The Tiwi Islands are part of the Northern Territory of Australia, 80 km to the north of Darwin where the Arafura Sea joins the Timor Sea. They are inhabited by the Tiwi people, as they have been since before European settlement in Australia. The Tiwi are an Indigenous Australian people, culturally and linguistically distinct from those of Arnhem Land on the mainland just across the water. Tiwi Islands, Northern Territory, Australia.
An full Easter moon rises as the sun sets over one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. The Walls of China is a lunette that sits on the eastern side of the ancient Lake Mungo stretching for more than 33 km. It is made up of three distinct layers; the reddish Gol Gol layer, formed between 100,000 and 120,000 years ago,while the archaeologically prolific middle greyish layer or Mungo layer, deposited between 50,000 and 25,000 years ago with the most recent Zanci layer, which is pale brown, being laid down mostly between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago. The scientific evidence shows that Aboriginal people have lived at Mungo for at least 45,000 years. This is the dated age of the oldest stone artifacts and human remains that have been found so far, and represents a lineage that extends back over some 2000 generations. Lake Mungo dried up almost 14,000 years ago and is located in the deep Outback of NSW, Australia
