Landscapes of Western Australia and the Northern Territory by Robert Perriam

Western Australia and the Northern Territory cover a huge area, with many different climates and topographies, and a range of landscapes. The digitally manipulated photographic images presented here in a range of effects represent landscapes which I have visited, both in the course of my work and on motorhome trips since retirement.

The Hot Dry Inland; where I spent much of my working life. Mostly low relief landscapes with salt lakes and breakaways, low cliffs at sudden changes in level of the landscape.

The South West; A densely forested wet mountain land in the South West of the State.

The South Coast; Includes many beautiful headlands, bays, beaches and inlets. Some are difficult to access, and most beaches are not crowded. Some coastlines such as the Torndirrup coast near the City of Albany face the south westerly winter storms of the Southern Ocean, and are wild rocky places.

Inland Waters; Range from the dark rivers and dams of the South West to the salt pans of the inland, to the rivers of the Kimberley and billabongs of the Northern Territory.

The Kimberley; A remote, rugged and beautiful region in the far north of Western Australia with varied and often spectacular scenery.

The Top End of the Northern Territory; The near coastal region of billabongs (wetlands), high plateaux, and river gorges, populated by crocodiles and many species of water birds. These images were captured in Kakadu National Park (the Yellow Water Billabong) and Nitmiluk National Park, (the Katherine Gorge), during a motorhome expedition across the Kimberley and Northern Territory in May - June 2019.
