I'm always interested in the way soil types change, the way a landscape can instantly close off or open out because of the change in vegetation. When I'm home on the farm it's harder to document or observe as the land is cleared. Up here on the station it's very visible, there are clear changes in the scrub lines, rocky outcrops are bare and the coastal plains are wide open rolling spaces. This got me to thinking about a sequence of photos that depict these changes. As I learn the different kinds of vegetation and the names of the soil types I'll try and update this post. For now, I hope you enjoy some scenery from what is technically the Kimberley. (The station land on the south of the Great Northern Highway is in the Pilbara, the northern section is in the Kimberley!)
