My pictures of Australian wildlife

 

Seen on beautiful Fraser Island (the largest sand island in the world) are these pure dingo's - beautiful and wild.

Last year one attacked and killed a small child on holiday. Park rangers responed with a cull that killed many of the dogs. Visitors are warned not to feed the dogs and to lock food away at night. Special cages are provided at camping grounds for this purpose.

Dogs will steal and chew leather shoes left outside a tent at night. They are obviously always hungary.

 

A warning not to run over a large shark with your outboard motor. This 3.5 meter long creature probably thought it was being attacked and turned on the boat with it's teeth.

The shark held a vice-like grip for about five minutes before relaxing and swimming away. The pontoon of the dinghy was destroyed.

The three occupants (and a small dog) had a rather terrifying time even although two of them were experienced divers and former shark hunters.

Karma?

These samples were a camera lens test in 1989.

Photographed in the Tweed Heads river at high tide, when the clear ocean sometimes floods in.

Other locations for guaranteed clear ocean modelling pictures:

1. The warm to 'hot' fresh water springs at Howard Springs, Australia's Northern Territory (ideal during the southern winter).

2. The Coral Sea - outside the Great Barrier Reef where visibility is always 120 to 250 feet (requires lengthy charter boat voyage). Best time April and May. September and October.

3.Mount Gambier's Ewen Ponds- crystal clear freshwater in South Australia (but very cold water therefore wet suit required).
