Head On is the largest photo festival in Australia with 200 photographic events---exhibitions, events and seminars--- staged in Sydney between 4 May and 3 June 2012.
One exhibition that aroused my curiousity was the work done by Peter Elfes, who has over the past four years, photographed Lake Eyre and the Central and Eastern desert regions of Australia. The Green Desert exhibition features low level aerial image of this landscape.
Peter Elfes, Sturts Meadow, The Barrier Range, NSW, 2011
The Barrier Range, is about 50km north of Broken Hill in eastern NSW and it is part of the Broken HiIl Bioregion. I must have gone quite close to the Barrier Range, when I visited Silverton a couple of years ago.
These rock formations now weathered were part of mountain ranges 10,000 metres high that existed during the
Proterozoic Era more than 2000 million years ago, before Gondwana separated from the Pangaea super continent.
