Eastern Goldfields

Some self prtraits you might suggest after a few days in the sun? No, wrong again though some similarities do exist...the hanging organs? Perhaps. But no, these are the images of natives created  and placed on a huge salt lake at Menzies. A fascinating experience to spend hours wandering the, in some parts, squashy salt surface...not too soft...yet moist enough to leave imprints of feet passing by. A great opportunity for budding artists too of all ages to leave their marks and designs.
A lot of money and time has been spent in making Menzies and the Goldfields in general an attractive tourist destination. Not all roads have been bitumised but some have... much to the disappointment of some locals. There is nothing like the red dust experience in this magnificent countryside. Try it sometime!
