Description
As the sun goes down and the birds don't play by Joan Stratton - A cloudless dry season evening, looking out across the harbour to Gongbung Beach, the sky is burgundy/grey from the smoke of fires burning near Johnstone Creek, the unbelievably large sun graduating from bright yellow through to orange hangs above the silhouette of the shore as the last of the water birds fly to their roost here in Weipa, Cape York, Queensland, Australia.
Welcome to my home! This photo forms part of my Weipa & Cape York Collection.
Weipa is a remote town on the Gulf of Carpentaria which is on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. The Alngith people are the traditional owners of Weipa and the site has significant indigenous cultural history and heritage areas. The name "Weipa" is derived from the Anhathangayth Aboriginal language. It comes from "Waypa" which means "fighting ground".

Regarding the latest news on bushfires burning across Australia, i am so sad Joan! I hope you and yours in a safe place. All my best wishes over these catastrophic climate conditions and Australia!

Our country is in drought and on fire, up and down the eastern seaboard and in other states, it is so sad to see the devastation and there doesn't seem to be any end to it :( Please pray for rain, hopefully that will help!
