Walking...

Walking with my camera is my favourite pastime, in the summer months however my meandering dwindles because I am not a fan of the heat.

Even strolling by the river this particular day didn't alter the rising intensity of the sun, but I did still manage to enjoy an array of beauty along the way at the old site of Chase Farm where a variety of fruit trees still flourish, I then carried on to Hessy Reserve before heading back to cooling air-conditioning of my car...

 

Lot Six Zero...

Lot Six Zero a café in Aveley used to be a café I went to a lot when down in suburbia, had a really healthy and inspiring menu, but after awhile the novelty wore off and I stopped going.

Last week I popped in randomly after years and was surprised that the once thriving business was nothing like it used to be. The menu wasn't as interesting and much more expensive and I was the only one there during what should have been the lunchtime rush.

The interior was still the same and provides a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a coffee, sadly though I don't think I will return as it really isn't nearly as unique as it once was...

 

I Find Peacocks...

I find peacocks absolutely magical birds, their incredible beauty is breathtaking...

 

Another Thing...

Another thing that caught my attention at the recent visit to the vets was this money box, used to help wildlife...

The Spiritual Meaning of Women With Few or No Friends – Carl Jung Psycho...

This Illustration...

 This illustration shows a variety of the wildlife that are dwelling in safety at Newhaven, a former cattle station turned wildlife sanctuary. 

The traditional owners  the Ngalia Warlpiri and Luritja people own a part of the desert which the sanctuary is located on, they are working alongside the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) in a close partnership to protect this land and the precious species protected here.

The sanctuary covers a vast 226,501 hectares. 

Its mission.

Save Australian wildlife!

This is the first sanctuary of its kind in Australia, and I for one hope that there is going to be many more sanctuaries like this to protect the unique wildlife of Australia, especially from the continued destruction of habitat by the humans, and by feral cats which cause a lot of damage to the native wildlife  numbers throughout of Australia. (Which is why I never allow my cat's to roam free.) 

Already there are 27 mammal species, 83 reptile and 180 birds, 600 plant species as well as 23 ecosystems. 

You can visit the sanctuary and camp for $10 per person per night, cash only as it's in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

You would need a four-wheel drive to get here and to explore the tracks within the sanctuary. 

There is no power on site, but there are shower and toilet facilities. 

 Alice Springs is about 400 kilometres away and the landscape varies from salt lakes, rocky desert eucalyptus and mulga woodlands and spinifex plains. There are sections that are completely off limits to visitors, but with over 300 kilometers of tracks to follow I think visitors would never run out things to see...
