Fields of Mulla Mulla

Mulla mulla are everywhere in the Pilbara. They are the wildflower that connects pretty much the entire region. That's probably why it is the official flower of the Pilbara.

We organised a church camp a while back.

Photos from this camp are bittersweet for me. As I write, my camera, Betsy, is in the mail, destined for the Canon service centre and she literally stopped working overnight on this camp. I am truly devastated but secretly hoping she may be beyond repair and I can upgrade....is that wrong?

Anyway, hopefully by the time this is published she will either be back in my hands and I will have taken more photos or I will have a new camera, all without a bump in photos on the blog.

So, on this camp one morning I got up to take photos of the mulla mulla. These guys, standing tall in the morning sun are glorious and epitomize what the Pilbara looks like. If only you could feel the wind, smell the spinafex, hear the rocks as well and you would know what this harsh landscape has in store for you and you too will never leave.
