Tiwi

Bathurst Island, just off the coast of Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia is a relaxed and colourful place & home of the Tiwi. The red patterned swatches are from photographs of lithoprints from the indigenous artist's workshop. The other smaller photographs show evidence of a Tiwi funeral ritual.

I created this layout a while ago but was never completely happy with it so I've reworked it slightly.

Jumping crocodile cruise
Mary River near Darwin in Northern Territory
July 2005

The cruise wasn't really my thing but I went for the photo opportunity. Each section of the river had a male crocodile in residence with his many lady friends!

This layout is for a Saturday Special challenge at ScrapMatters which asked us to try extraction.

Litchfield National Park

I visited Litchfield National Park near Darwin in Northern Territory in July 2005. The magnetic termite mounds are a strange sight, looking much like tombstones and always pointing north. I liked the starkness of the tree in the photo against the brilliant blue sky.
