I recently did a bird photography workshop with Shelley Pearson at Wooleen Station in the West Australian outback. I learnt so much - and not just about bird photography.

Spring had sprung, and this was the first leg of a big adventure: Melbourne to Broome return, via South-West Western Australia...and such an adventure it was even though everything didn't go to plan. Here is an account of the first leg from Melbourne up to Lake Cullerleraine in Victoria's far west corner, through South Australia and the Eyre Peninsula, savouring the Nullarbor and the Great Western Woodlands, and on to the South-West of WA via Esperance.
