WINTER’S
EMBRACE
SNOW GUMS,
Eucalyptus pauciflora
Tim Wrate, New South Wales
The conditions on this day were flat and
uninteresting, with white-out conditions
rendering visibility to only a few metres.
I had found this cluster of snow gums
crusted in ice from some rain the
previous night and used the conditions
to create a sense of mystery and depth.

David Stowe, New South Wales
We were camped near a dam in a dry
and remote area of western Queensland,
photographing a flock of bronzewings.
Scattered over a vast area, a mob of emus
appeared over the shimmering horizon,
as they came in for a drink. Their natural
curiosity drew them closer to us allowing
me to capture this ‘emuscape’.
