THE DRY SEASON
October
The land is definitely looking parched now. Waterholes are stagnant, smelly pools. But there is occasional relief through afternoon showers: a refreshing breeze and a sudden deluge, short, but intense and invigorating. Brumbies start to worry about finding sustainable food sources.
The King
The King of the brumbies of the North is Bunderra the black stallion.
There stepped the giant stallion, Bunderra, in Windjana Gorge, moving from shadow to sun, proud head raised high and muscles rippling fluidly underneath a silky black coat. The bluntly attractive features of the australian brumby stood prominantly in the curve of his face and the line of his strong body, there could be no doubt that this beast was the king. King of the
brumbies of the North.

Windjana Gorge
A wide cut gorge half full of a fresh water river, with plenty of sandy areas to roll in during the dry months, though these are underwater in the wet. Plenty of vegetation is present in the gorge, as well as some interesting cave systems built into the limestone walls.

Durack Range
A long, narrow ridge of mountainous terrain made up of granite and limestone. Its rocky surface makes an exhilirating climb, which is worth the effort when you find the origin of the Durack River in its heights.

Tunnel Creek
A wide, underground water system with high ceilings and banks of damp sand along its edges, this is a good hiding place if escape is needed, but its not advised to spend a night in the depths of Tunnel Creek - it gets awfully cold at night. The Creek is cold and fresh, sweet to taste.

Lake Barlee
A wide salt lake that stretches more than 100 km wide from west to east, and about 80 km wide from north to south. The Lake fills with water once every ten years, and its a special event when this occurs.

Mitchell Falls
A series of waterfalls that lead one into the other, down toward the flats. It consists of four waterfalls, each leading to a larger pool. The safest and most picturesque pool being the second, a place that is difficult to reach, but rewarding.

The Mangroves
A boggy, frightening place crawling with crabs and nasty insects that can irritate and sicken a horse. The roots of the mangrove trees are gnarled and rough, but can provide an easier stepping surface if a brumby needs to pass through.

Pindan Grasslands
A wide plain made up of the red dirt pindan and spinifex grass, with the occasional boab tree and acacia to provide shade and shelter. The earth and dirt gets very dry and dusty in the dry season.

Pindan Creek
A small creek that cuts through the grasslands, and provides a constant source of water for any animal that needs it. Pindan Creek rarely dries up, despite its small size, and it is a well loved area in the dry. In the wet season, the creeks banks overflow a vast area.

Lennard River
A wide river that cuts through both Windjana Gorge and the King Leopold Ranges, Lennard River is a favoured spot for many freshwater crocodiles. Luckily, fish are plentiful, and the crocodiles rarely snap at anything larger. The Lennard River provides a good source of water for all its surrounding areas.

King Leopold Ranges
A range of hills covered in grass and small trees, the King Leopold Ranges are a good spot to find a picking in the dry, with hidden pockets of lush grass supplemented by the Lennard River.

Warabo Flat
A large, well grassed flat that many brumbies congregate at. Generally visited by herds of three or more horses, two year olds like to try their luck at gaining fillies from other young stallions here. Sometimes this angers older stallions residing on the Flat and the young stallions get a beating - but this doesnt stop them returning for more.

Awoonga Lake
A large, fresh water lake that is supplemented by the Mitchell Falls. The Lake does not completely dry during the dry season, but its waters recede drastically, and its banks grow marshy.

Mt. Quambatook
A steep mountain of granite that becomes very slick and slippery in the wet. Mount Quambatook flattens more as you ascend, and its top is characterised by tall, silver trees that have died through exposure to the elements. A spooky place that has little grazing.

Coppin Gap
A wide cap between two sides of the Napier Range, with long, bare patches on either sides that make it look like a runway. This gap has been leapt by only the bravest of brumbies, and only in the more dire of situations. It is not advised to do the same, as even more have fallen to their death in the attempt.

Kingfisher Waterhole
A deep waterhole named for its most common inhabitants - the azure kingfisher. Bright blue and beautiful, the kingfishers hang around the waterhole and its surrounding eucaluypts. The waterhole is shady and a welcome comfort from the heat.

Mulga Pass
A narrow pass between two steep sided hills, where the grazing is plentiful and lush because of the runoff. However, the King Brown snake likes to bask on the scattered rocks in the pass, and can be a danger to young foals.

Erambie Marshlands
An almost constantly dry marshland, it has to be a very rainy season indeed to dampen the marsh rocks. Created by dense mud drying out completely, the marshlands are dry and dead, the marsh rocks hard as granite.

Anemboe Valley
A dry valley with many scattered limestone rocks and boabs. A small herd could live here and be satisified with the grazing, but introduce another herd and fights will break out over food.

Red Tail Plain
A wide plain that stretches out to the Napier Range, with swaying golden grasses and dusty pindan underfoot. So named because of the plain being home to many desert mice, and in turn, becoming a favoured hunting ground for red tailed hawks.

Goshawk Pass
Bare and unfriendly, Goshawk Pass is not ventured through often. It bares hardly enough grazing for one brumby, let alone a herd. However, the boabs inside the pass are beautifully structured, and have many legends surrounding them.

Napier Range
South of, and parallel to the King Leopold Range, the Napier Range is a lush, beautiful area favoured by the loners of the brumbies. The eucalypts are thick on its back, and the sunsets are magnificent from its high points.

Devils Scree
A wide, steep rockfall hanging off the shoulder of the Napier Range. Too much noise here could cause a rock slide, the ground is unstable and easy to unsettle if too much weight is placed onto it, even the nimble footed brumbies avoid devils scree if they can help it.
