he region is stark and hostile, but in the early morning and late afternoon light, when the basalt rocks turn to the color of rust, and the distant mountains to soft shades of purple and blue, it can also be breathtakingly beautiful.
Garth Owen-Smith, An Arid Eden

After dark I walk beside the plateau back towards the Okakarara Road (...) the full moon tonight is huge, an incredible globe of cool molten yellow, almost close enough to touch, shining over the open bushland like a giant floodlight.
Fran Sandham, Traversa
