I flew into the South West Wilderness World Heritage area to Melaleuca with my friend Greg who manages Par Avion Wilderness Tours and stayed on his boat for three days. I was amazed at the scenery here and also the total lack of human interference. No fences, no houses - except for Denny King's cabin (a pioneer who lived there for many years), no cattle or even an absence of man-made forest clearings, make this area a romantic painter's dream. Each day we meandered up the river and even arrived at the South West coast 20 km from our camp. The first day was bleek with wind and rain but on the second morning the weather was exceptional with fantastic water reflections and no wind, and I was keen to capture this idyllic moment. On this day we came around a bend in the river and there in the distance was Mt. Rugby rising up like a beacon for the whole area.
