An Aussie Scene – Seen Through Canadidian Eyes
Posted by danudin on November 23, 2010
My neice Jodie is over for a short time from Calgary Alberta Canada, and on a trip to the Northern Territory, she captured these two iconic Out Back shots. The colour of the soil around the Devils marbels is what the Outback generally resembles but we have had heaps of rain and the shot of her near the termite mound, (Not the biggest there – but closest to the track) shows the uncommon look of a Green Outback, a real wonder for all.

Love that red dirt! Reminds me of southwest Utah and northern Arizona here in the U.S. Also, that termite hill…ugh…gives me the willies! Your niece is brave to stand so close!

No need to worry, it would be too hot for them to venture out in daylight, which is the reason for the magnetic alignment, too!

Leave it to you to stand your poor niece in front of a termite hill…and you call me a witch?? 🙂
I love the reds in that first image…what great color and what a wonderful scene!

Love the red rocks–it’s much like the parts of the American southwest where John & I were camping this past September. Same color, but your hills are rounder.

They are mere boulders Bobbie, The Devils Marbles.

Definitely a reminder of the American southwest! Your niece is also very brave! I probably would not want to approach those things!

That first image is fabulous, Ron. The red rocks are great. That is some more termite mound, also. Great color in both pictures.
