This was on the side of the Murrumbidgee at Bullen Range Nature Reserve in Canberra
It's a lovely spot, thanks for sharing!
Geomorphologist here, one part of this landscape that isn't immediately apparent in its beauty is notice how this landscape is clearly most the time dry... but it isn't shaped by the average dry day slowly working away at eroding away the landscape (like you may find in a stereotypical desert land form), no this is a landscape utterly shaped by floods it is just they only come very occasionally.
When you learn to understand how every river valley is a band playing to the rhythm of floods, it sticks out to you like an unread, tempting book every time you walk in a wild river valley like this.
My first thought was, "What happened to the water?" Thought it was normally flowing and had dried up. Thanks!
Now apply the same question to this landscape...

Casuarinas as far as the eye can see. I love the smell of Casuarina forests and the thick matted forest floor around them.
I love how, even on a still day, you can stand beneath them and hear the gentle whispering of the wind.
