Loving having the time to stop and smell the roses so to speak, despite a massive couple of weeks with the Finke Desert Race the 3000 odd km run home has been very pleasant. I love having the time to just stop and appreciate the country.

Some days are just lucky, after this morning’s close call this afternoon just out of Wilcania I spotted this stunning Wedged Tailed Eagle sitting on a rock close to the road. I pulled over fully expecting it to take off however it sat watching me allowing me to get within a few metres, I wondered if it may not have been as lucky as the eagle managed to miss this morning and had in fact been hit by a car. If anyone who is familiar with these amazing creatures can spot anything out of the ordinary please let me know in the comments. Eventually albeit awkwardly it flew to a tree about 100 metres away but something didn’t seem 100% right or maybe it’s a juvenile and still getting its wings so to speak.

One very lucky Wedged Tailed Eagle, it was obviously eating some roadkill and covered by bushes along the side of the road when it suddenly flew out. Fortunately I managed to miss it but thought I should pull over and see if I could spot it.

Well Finke is done and dusted and back into Coober Pedy for the night. What was supposed to be a fairly cruisy weekend got a bit more hectic when I was asked to shoot for the local Alice Springs paper and the official media crew at Prologue, all 220 odd cars and 700 bikes. Here are a few shots from the event.

While working in Alice Springs on the Finke Desert Race , the team I am here with had an unexpected change of plans late yesterday afternoon. Team Owner Glenn Brinkman had an issue with his back and is unable to drive the race so in a sliding doors moment Toby Price who had come out to watch our testing suddenly found himself behind the wheel to test. Overnight negotiations means that Toby will now be driving the On The Brink Motorsport Can Am for the 50th Running of the Finke Desert Race.
