Ecopix photographer Wayne Lawler has returned from an intensive 4 month photographic study of the Gulf Savannah - its rivers, wetlands, savannah grasslands and woodlands, and the interaction people have with these resources.

There is among this body of work many outstanding images to illustrate general points of ecology, conservation, natural history, resource management, ecotourism and indigenous culture. Or just images of the beauty of this country for beauty's sake!

Most of the hundreds of images are yet to be scanned in, but in the mean time, meet a few of the Gulf Country's characters to get you acquainted with this inspiring Wet/Dry Tropical location.

Fraser Island, apart from being a fascinating place and a major international tourist destination, also provides ideal examples of coastal and ecological processes. That is a major reason why it was made World Heritage!

These new Fraser Is. images are ideal for adding strong visuals to subjects from geomorphology to ecotourism. Examples shown include brilliant coloured sands illustrating mineral leaching, organic matter forming coffee rock, now eroding on the beach, the self-perpetuating rainforests and plant succession, and, inevitably in such a popular destination, graffiti and wildlife management problems.
