There's a quite remarkable tree just north of Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Range National Park. A photo of this tree was taken in 1937 by Harold Cazneaux. Now I don't know who this Harold guy was, whether he was a significant photographer or not - I guess there's plenty in our group who do know his history! What's special about this though, is you can see the exact same tree today - pretty much the same as when the photo was first taken...

Max Dupain called Cazneaux ’the father of modern Australian photography’ - also he was Dick Smith’s grandfather

Amazing

The horizon does look a touch out but then it is up in the ranges so maybe it should be.

It HAS to be photoshopped!!!

j/k

That's an interesting find sheepie. Even better that the tree still exists and hasn't been killed off in a bushfire.
