The land endures.
This land was ravaged by ferocious bush fires in 2006, but nature endures this savage attack and already growth and renewal can be seen.
Meanwhile on shore tornadoes and the wind tears at the Pandanus trees
Australia is a land of contrasts. Along the coast tornadoes roar in from across the ocean leaving devastation behind. But this Pandanus tree endures by bending and swaying in the storm.
The waves come crashing down
Nature cannot be controlled and it is awesome in its fury.
A silver lining
There is always hope in the dawn of a new day.
Walking through the Bungles
Despite man’s constant meddling the land, the ocean and nature will endure.
A demonstration of the endurance and survival of trees.
The survivor
This week’s WP photo challenge “share a photo of what endurance means to you”
Memories are made of this 
Lovely images of your lovely country PP. The Bungles look fascinating. I’d love to walk in there.
I put walking and experiencing the Bungles as one of the best things I have done. You should try and go if you get the chance. Did you see this post I did about my Bungles experience Jude? http://pommepal.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/travel-themes-parks/
I hadn’t but I will. Now you have got me thinking…
Broome, Kununurra and all those places up in the North-West corner are worth visiting Jude,
Perhaps this needs to be a trip on its own. Too far from Sydney to make it feasible.
Yes this would certainly be a separate trip Jude as it is a long way from Sydney.
Definitely an enduring landscape – I enjoyed your photo series a lot.
My favourite is the last photo……aren’t trees just incredible?
I agree Madoqua without the enduring growth of trees we wouldn’t have a world we could live in

Thank you for leaving a comment
Australia is a testament to endurance! Great pics for the challenge 😀
I think the Australian people are also a testament to the enduring spirit. Certainly get put through the mill weatherwise don’t we Dianne?
