In my travels searching for Huzzas I am often passing through the central wheatbelt, an area I spent parts of my child hood living. This area sits on the Yilgarn Craton, one of the oldest areas on the planet, over 2.5 billion years old. Being so old it has been worn down over time. with the topography fairly flat. Here the water has no connection to the ocean, no where to go and until it evaporates, it collects in the low points of the land.
These areas have formed into salt lakes over those billions of years. In this still, nutrient rich saline water, algae explode in colour. This region contains a variety of different coloured lakes, reds, blues, yellows, browns and flourescent greens where the colour really stands out when looking down from above. I became fascinated with the form of the water and the elongated tail of slowly evaporating water, all resembling a stingray swimming along.
This region is one I will continue to document. There are some spectacular natural shapes and patterns to be discovered.
