Day 5 Tuesday May 15th, part 2.
Lake Wetherall, beginning of sunset.
After leaving the Menindee pub we headed north to find water. We came across the last campsite of the ill-fated explorers Bourke and Wills. Five minutes up the road we came to the edge of Lake Wetherall, filled with water and dead trees. After much searching through desert and dry land it was amazing to feel the water in the air. We quickly searched for the best vantage point to view the sunset. We decided on a small finger of land jutting out into the lake where we crawled along the thickly wooded steep bank on the waters edge. We finally came across the perfect spot where a couple were trying to enjoy a romantic sunset with a bottle of champagne with Joss Stone playing in the background from the open doors of their Lexus. We settled in with them on the grey clay banks and enjoyed our very late lunch as the sun went down.
Watching the sun set here was a truly amazing experience! The colours were so intense they didn't seem real. If we hadn't had been there we wouldn't have believed these photos hadn't been enhanced. We started photographing the sunset at 6.10pm (top photo) and continued through to 7pm (next blog photo). The colours were continually changing, starting from blue hues going through silver, gold, orange, red, pink through to the purples. It was absolutely incredible!!!!!
