Last thing I felt like was taking a daily photo, but determined not to fail this time, I walked down to the local lake and took this late afternoon image. Hope you enjoy it and thank you for the encouragement so far.<br /> <br /> Lake Careniup at Karrinyup, Perth, Western Australia<br /> <br /> <br /> Photographed January 2012 - © Lesley Bray Photography - All Rights Reserved.

Sadly they seem to be preparing to sell the land for housing.<br /> <br /> Photographed January 2012 - © Lesley Bray Photography - All Rights Reserved.
  • 24/366<br /> This year's summer temperatures are soaring and we are spending a few days in Augusta to try and escape the heat. Augusta is the most southern western town in Australia and yes the water really is that blue at this time of the year. I often think there is too much light for photography during Australian summers. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about this jetty.<br /> Old Town Jetty on Hardy Inlet, Blackwood River, Augusta, Western Australia.<br /> <br /> Photographed January 2012 - © Lesley Bray Photography - All Rights Reserved.

  • 21/366<br /> A number of people have died at this pool as a result of leaping from the cliff despite the warning signs. If you look closely you can see youths on the cliff waiting for their turn to jump. I saw three jump in the short time I was there.<br /> Serpentine Falls south of Perth, Western Australia.<br /> <br /> Photographed January 2012 - © Lesley Bray Photography - All Rights Reserved.
  • This is the Mareeba Tropical Savanna and Wetland Reserve, Atherton Tableland, North Queensland, Australia. Unfortunately the lilies were't in bloom and we were told the birds have all migrated to central Australia. Nevertheless it is still a beautiful place and I did see a Jabiru !<br /> <br /> Photographed July 2010 - © Lesley Bray Photography

  • Just behind The Boulders is Mt Bartle Frere, Queensland's tallest mountain, from which Babinda Creek's cool water originates. The section of the creek where the water rushes over massive granite boulders, smoothing and shaping them, is referred to as The Babinda Boulders.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Boulders, Babinda Creek, Babinda, North Queensland, Australia. <br /> <br /> Photographed July 2010 - © Lesley Bray Photography

  • According to legend a beautiful girl named Oolana, from the Yidinji people, married a respected elder from her tribe named Waroonoo. Shortly after their union another tribe moved into the area and a handsome young man came into her life. His name was Dyga and the pair soon fell in love. Realising the adulterous crime they were committing, the young lovers escaped their tribes and fled into the valleys. The elders captured them, but Oolana broke free from her captors and threw herself into the still waters of what is now known as Babinda Boulders, calling for Dyga to follow her. As Dyga hit the waters, her anguished cries for her lost lover turned the still waters into a rushing torrent and the land shook with sorrow. Huge boulders were scattered around the creek and the crying Oolana disappeared among them.<br /> <br /> <br /> Boulders at Devil's Pool in Babinda Creek, Babinda, North Queensland, Australia. <br /> <br /> Photographed July 2010 - © Lesley Bray Photography
