Donald Page, Photographer

There are so many things I want to say since I haven't posted since I have arrived. I was hoping for something really creative and meaningful without being too long where people won't read it.

I guess instead of trying to fit it all in at once ill just go ahead and do it one at a time...
These photos are from one of the first things I did here in Australia.

I met up with some old friends and we went out semi into the country and roughed it for dinner over the campfire.

If you look here in this next photo, you can see in the stars where the constalation that makes up The Southern Cross is. To the center left there are 4 stars and one small one that make up the country emblem that is also featured on their flag. In the old days, much like the North Star, the southern cross and the pointers to its left were used as bearings for sailors to help them find south. f/2.8
