Late 1971, my first year in South Australia, there was a works camping trip up to Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges, early spring. Amazing experience; there had been heavy rain and we had to push the cars through muddy creek crossings, one at a time. Next day we walked through into the Pound, a huge natural amphitheatre some miles across, surrounded by dry mountains (the Pound had been used as a natural corral by 19th century cattle rustlers!). Somewhere on that walk I cam across this strange piece of agricultural machinery (presumably). No idea what it was. Taken with a Pentax Spotmatic II, no idea what film.

 
I think this just about qualifies! :)

From 1968, shot near the newly Israeli Golan Heights with a Pentacon FM and a 50mm Meritar lens on FP3 film. It was developed in one of the Johnson's brews; I have a horrible feeling it was Universal because we also used it for the contact prints. It may win no prizes in the technical stakes but it was satisfying for a 16 year old who'd been taking pictures for around a year at that point...
