Outback Adventure DVD Out Now! Video Clip

"Outback Adventure" DVD highlighting photos from "Off the Beaten Track", earlier in September, is now available. It can be purchased in both PAL format (for Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom) and also NTSC format (for the USA, Canada, Europe and South America).

There are 270 photos (without captions), plus credits, featuring South Australia's Outback, Gammon Ranges and Flinders Ranges. Wildlife, windmills and wildflowers all make an appearance. Mini adventures like the Pichi Richi Railway journey and the Ridge Top Tour at Arkaroola are there too.

Visits to Alligator Gorge, the Ochre Pits and Leigh Creek Coal Field are included as well. Signs, buildings, vehicles and people make an appearance alongside trees, creeks and beautiful scenery.

Did I mention there are planes in it too?

What more could you want as a snapshot of the Australian Bush? These are the places Oprah didn't visit.

The DVD lasts for about 26.5 minutes and has an easy listening soundtrack.

Enjoy the video clip (short but great).



The DVDs are AUD$25.00 each. Postage & handling for Australia is AUD$2.50 and for outside Australia it's AUD$6.00. Contact me at fran@franwest.com for a bulk P&H cost if purchasing more than one copy.

Although primarily designed for aged care and dementia patients, the DVDs can be and are enjoyed by people of all ages.

P.S. the wildflowers on the DVD label are South Australia's floral emblem, the Sturt Desert Pea, (absolutely stunning in the Wearing Gorge). There are just a few on the actual DVD too.

Windmill, Rawnsley Park Station, Flinders Ranges, South Australia

On my recent trip into South Australia's Outback, "Off the Beaten Track", I wanted to go ballooning at Rawnsley Park Station, in the Flinders Ranges.

I got up early in time to meet the chief pilot in front of the Woolshed Restaurant at 5.45am. Quite chilly in the dark and I was rugged up in my scarf, gloves and beanie.

However, the wind was deemed too brisk and unsafe by the pilot so the balloons were not going to be launched. Very disappointing.

Fortunately, I've learnt how to turn negatives into positives, and instead of going back to a warm bed I decided to stay out in the cold and photograph the sunrise.

This windmill at dawn was just one of the beautiful views to put a positive spin on a negative start to the day.
