Goyder Lagoon, South Australia. “It’s a big reserve, and there’s all these little tributaries, but around the edge is red. There’s the Stony Desert on one side, and the Simpson on the other, and there’s all this iron-coloured dirt.” Picture: Andrew Kube1 of 15
Strzelecki Desert, South Australia. “This was taken back in about March, just after a big rain. As you can see, it really is a desert. It’s red and barren, but there was just water everywhere. I thought: ‘Wow, I’m lucky to see this’.” Picture: Andrew Kube2 of 15
Little Allen Island, Queensland. “I think it looks like a flying kangaroo, but depending on the tide it can look really different.” Picture: Andrew Kube3 of 15

Dunes near Lake Eyre, South Australia. “I had my family in the plane, and the sun was really low with the evening light. We were zooming along about 500 feet above the ground, it was about 37 degrees and we were all fanning ourselves, just thinking it looked incredible.” Picture: Andrew Kube5 of 15

Lake Eyre, South Australia. “It looks like a moon. I just like the patterns of this one, it looks like someone painted it.” Picture: Andrew Kube7 of 15
Lake Eyre, South Australia. “I talked a couple of people into doing a longer trip. I said: ‘We’re pretty lucky, there’s been a whole lot of rain’. It was the best trip ever, after that we started doing three-day trips everywhere.” Picture: Andrew Kube8 of 15
Camel tracks at Lake Eyre, South Australia. “It looks almost like a piece of barbed wire. We were trying to figure out what is was, and why the animal was wandering around in circles.” Picture: Andrew Kube9 of 15

Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. “It’s one of those places you can’t see from the ground. There’s almost no roads up there, on the Gulf, and when you’re down on the ground you just see the horizon and the sky. You have no appreciation of what it really looks like.” Picture: Andrew Kube12 of 15
Near William Creek, South Australia. “This one is really abstract, it could almost be a kitchen top. It’s a really unique landscape.” Picture: Andrew Kube13 of 15

Wimmera Paddocks, Victoria. “This was taken somewhere near Horsham. I had an exhibition, and a bunch of farmers were standing there trying to work out what was going on in the picture - why did he turn that way?” Picture: Andrew Kube15 of 15
“I’ve worked in a lot of national parks and come across a lot of ‘roos out here in the scrub, but this is the biggest I’ve ever seen,” he said.
“He wasn’t aggressive, but he was asserting his dominance by standing up tall.”
Mr Teasdale said his strategy for avoiding being dragged into a man versus beast fight was to make himself small
“You make yourself smaller so they don’t feel threatened,” he said.
