1. Visions of Wilderness
(available in CD or cassette)
PICTURE | REVIEWS
To the Far Horizon - Somewhere over the far horizon lie the vast landscapes of
Australia's wilderness
Ocean Sunrise - A subdued pre-dawn, followed by the intense light of the rising
sun leads to a more placid finale as the spectacle of the dawn subsides into the new day
Sandblow - Sandblows occur where strong ocean breezes carry dry beach sand inland
to form small deserts of undulating dunes.
Lamington Rainforests - Rain showers, ethereal mists and the wild rapids of a fast
flowing mountain stream are some of the striking features of the rainforest
Purnululu - The monolithic structure of the Bungle Bungles rises abruptly from the
surrounding Kimberley plains at Purnululu
The Kimberley (a) A vast land (b) Crossing the Kimberley
2. Dreams of Wilderness (available in CD or cassette)
PICTURE
Kakadu Plains - From the top of the Arnhemland Escarpment at Jim Jim Falls, the
broad plains of Kakadu stretch past the wetlands and billabongs to the distant horizon.
Over the Snowies - Imagine yourself climbing to the highest peaks of the Snowy
Mountains and then gliding effortlessly on skis down rolling slopes of vivid white.
Morning Twilight - The early morning bird chorus begins in earnest at the first
hint of light - well before the sun rises.
Walking the Western Arthurs - A steady rhythmic melody creating the atmosphere of
a walk along this craggy range in Tasmania where occasional harsh storms strike with
little notice.
Lake Oberon - The deep, mysterious and still waters of Lake Oberon, a glacial lake
in the Western Arthur Range, is reflected in the sombre mood of this composition.
3. Images of Australia (available only in CD)
PICTURE | REVIEWS
Kata Tjuta - the spectacular wilderness icon of central Australia
Bogong's Mountain Creek - a wild snow capped peak in the Victorian Alps and the
creek fed by its melting snows
Warrawilla Lagoon - a lagoon at the mouth of picturesque Warrawilla Creek at the
base of Mount Bowen on spectacular Hinchinbrook Island of north Queensland
Remember Pedder - Before being flooded for hydro-electric purposes Lake Pedder was
the jewel of Tasmania's South West
Sojourn on Zoe - Zoe Bay is a large crescent-shaped and secluded bay in the centre
of Hinchinbrook Island's east coast. With waterfalls cascading from the mountains, gentle
surf lapping its shore and nearby Mount Bowen towering like a castle, it is an ideal spot
to pause awhile.
Eagle over Barney - Mount Barney , in southern Queensland, is one of Australia's
most rocky and spectacular peaks and is a mecca for walkers and climber who enjoy a
challenge.
