Mountain Peaks to Desert Rivers – Mt Sonder - Tjoritja/West McDonnell National Park, Northern Territory by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Indeed, the views reflected the claims made on the sign—we where at the peak of Mt Sonder.

Turn Back Now! by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
A quite stern warning prior to the descent of the other side of the Standley Chasm. The warning, I suspect, is for any tourists who may have ventured this far from their bus or 4WD.
For us, there was little choice but to continue our adventure, destination Alice Springs some 60 km further on.

Swagmen at Brinkley Bluff – Larapinta Trail by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Atop Brinkley Bluff, the highest point on the Larapinta Trail. Quite an interesting place which has its own helicopter landing pad.

So what’s he smoking? And is it his grave or hers?
Rev. Joseph Johnston (1814-1892) by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Project: Fremantle Cemetery Heritage Walk: Location No. 19 Joseph Johnston (1814 -1892), Congregational Clergyman
This photo documents the grave site (No. 251) of the Reverend Joseph Johnston. Joseph Johnston was born in Lincolnshire. As a young man, he worked as a schoolmaster and became a member of the Congregational Church in Manchester.
He was 24 when the London Missionary Society invited him to work in the Pacific Islands. There, he met and married Harriett Platt, the daughter of a senior missionary.
In 1853, after a spell back in the UK, Johnston was sent to Fremantle. Initially, he worked from a small rented cottage and travelled horseback between Fremantle and Bunbury. The Reverend Johnston was dubbed “one of the most learned men in the colony”. His advocacy of “good works performed with generosity” drew the major merchants to support his social concerns, even though most were not Congregationalists.
He also lectured on intellectual topics to members of the Fremantle Mechanics Institute. However, when he thought the Institute was becoming a “gentlemen’s club”, he helped form the Fremantle Workingmen’s Association. The Reverend Johnston then instigated the amalgamation of the two bodies into a new organisation, the Fremantle Literary Institute. The Institute was a self-improvement group offering training in mathematics and literature.
The Reverend Johnston’s Fremantle Congregation Church, completed in 1877, was renamed the Johnston Memorial Church. It was demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a large apartment block, Johnston Court.

I don't normally take a camera in the men's room...but (no pun intended), this greeted me. Former church, now cafe in Cambridge.
Sir William Frederick "Fred" Samson (1892-1974) by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Fremantle Cemetery Heritage Walk Trail One Location17: Fred Samson campaigned for secession and in 1936 joined the Fremantle City Council. His roots in Fremantle local government were strong. Both his uncle, William Frederick, and his father, Michael, had been mayors of Fremantle.
Samson lived in the family’s mansion “Samson House” in Ellen Street (which still stands today), surrounded by Fremantle memorabilia. He loved the movies and built his own small theatre in his house using seats salvaged from the last Fremantle tram. During 37 years on the council – 21 of these as Fremantle’s longest-serving mayor from 1951 to 1972 – the portly, talkative, goodnatured Samson appeared everywhere around Fremantle. In fact, he was dubbed “Mr Fremantle”. He was knighted in 1962.
He wanted industrial progress in Fremantle but he also lobbied to protect historic buildings such as the Round House and the convict-built Lunatic Asylum. He regarded the Fremantle City Council development of the industrial area of O’Connor as a major achievement.
