This photo was taken on my first trip out with my DSLR. In my first trip to the Tasmanian West Coast in over 15 years, the main purpose of the journey was to experience the wonderful Wilderness Railway, better known as the Abt. Built in the 1890s by the Mt Lyell Mining Company, the railway connected Strahan and Queenstown for a number of years, before being closed in the mid 1960s and rails ripped up. In the late 1990s money was granted to re-establish the railway as a tourist venture.

In the photo here we see Abt Locomotive #1 taking on water at Rinadeena – the highest point of the journey and the lunchtime stopover. This is a tremendous journey and I would recommend it to anyone who happens to have a spare day when visiting the Tasmanian West Coast.

Autumn Colour

Over the last couple of months I have not had much time to get out and take photos. In fact, I haven’t taken any photos since Bathurst Harbour, which is kind of depressing. Whats worse is that with my current schedule, I will not be able to get out into the wilds to take any more photos for at least another 3 weeks due to current workloads :(

I have missed much of the magnificent autumn colour changes that occur each year, but did manage to briefly have a play with my 50mm lens and close up filters in the garden. I find this a nice image so far as colour and texture goes.

Thats all for now! unless I find something from the vault :)
