“Dryandra Woodlands” was painted at our last campsite for this beautiful road trip. These trees are part of some remnant forest which is the home to echidnas, numbats and other native fauna.
Our road trip was a voyage of discovery with constant surprises at every campsite. The Wheatelt and the goldfields of Western Australia have such a surprising variety of stunning salt lakes, rock fomations and surviving vegetation.
