    The beauty of these dunes belies their treacherous nature. Hills of sand stretch to the horizon, unspoilt by the presence of any living thing. The camera captures the symmetry and richness of the landscape, supporting a mirage of vitality amongst desolation. Views[212] Here is a study of natural processes – the power of a desert environment to shape, bleach and mould all features of the landscape. This tree has been uncovered and burnt in the desert sun, acting as a reminder of unique patterns of existence in arid deserts. Views[756] Here lies the remains of an early outback dwelling – broken rock littering the desert floor. This building, destroyed by the movement of the dunes, is successively hidden and revealed as a function of the wind. The image speaks to the human drama of survival in a challenging environment. Views[468] A single tree is all that is left of a forest that once grew behind these coastal dunes. Over thousands of years, these dunes moved inland driven by wind and water. They have swallowed and smothered the ancient forest. Views[212] The arid environments of Australia tell many unique stories. They tell of ancient landscapes, of survival and of unforgiving elements. This image, part of a series on desolation and desertification, speaks to how dunes move – how they advance and retreat to the rhythm of the wind. Views[514]
