As you read this, my beloved and I are far distant from Australia.

I may or may not have the opportunity to reveal more before we return, in mid October.

Meanwhile, I have scheduled a single-image series in which each post will show a different aspect of a quintessentially Australian mountain range….arguably, the quintessentially Australian mountain range.
