Dragon fire, the burning flames
Engulf the endless red dust roads
Flashing white hot at first
It licks the rain-starved desert grass
With silver rim light, then golden glaze
Ignites the smouldering, sun-baked earth
And turns the sky to molten waves
That rise and fall in ochre shades
Now blush, now spice, now violet haze
Until the dragon’s final breath
Lights up the stars that end our days
Rim-lit, rain-starved weeds at El Questro, which has suffered two very dry years
The final rays of the sun lighting up the landscape on the road from Broome to Derby, The Kimberley
Red dust hanging over El Questro Station, The Kimberley. The dust creates ethereal sunsets in shades of ochre and spice
Stars appear during the final, violet phase of the sunset over our camp at El Questro, The Kimberley
