Fancy yourself as a photographer? AusPharm regularly publishes photographs submitted by our members and would love to have a look at what you have to offer. Ideally, photos should have a pharmacy aspect to them but this is not mandatory. To submit a photo for consideration please email Mark Dunn.
AusPharm Photo of the week
Earlier this year, while attending the PSA conference in Buenes Aires and Rio, we trekked up from the valley you see behind us, on the Inca Trail. Click here for full sized image. 
Last weekend I went on safari (at Werribee Zoo!) and took some pictures I wanted to share. The lion area is up on a hill. Apparently, because it's the highest point at Werribee zoo, it helps them feel as if they're in charge of their "subjects"... even though they can't get to them! Click here for full sized image.
David, we saw your Photo Of The Week last week. Click here for full sized image.
The Medicine Chest Port Macquarie uses a nice diesel VW Polo for a delivery vehicle. Cleverly, it is named the Medicine Dropper! Click here for full sized image.
Chris Alderman and Naomi Burgess went through Pharmacy School together at the South Australian Institute of Technology, and did their pre-registration years in SA hospitals in the mid-1980s. Naomi now continues at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and also works in medication safety at the SA Department of Health, while Chris works at the Repatriation General Hospital and the University of SA. Both realised a long-held dream when earlier this year they travelled with their partners to North Neptune Island, off the West Coast of SA to dive with the Great White Sharks. Several of these magnificent animals (up to 5.5 metre in length) were there to greet us and provided an amazing experience for all concerned (although not for the faint-hearted...)

'Listers will have noticed that we haven't heard much from occasional AusPharm author Veronica Nou in recent times. Well, there's good reason for that as she was married earlier this year and has been a little busy as a result. Click here for full sized image.
Approximately 40km out of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, situated on the Bay on Bengal facing the Indian ocean is a place called Mahabalipuram (a mouthful of a word that has taken me a few days to perfect!). A 1300 year old temple built by the Pallava Dynasty stands there defiant of the change in times. The beautiful hand carved rock faces of the temple exemplify the amazing skills mathematical, engineering and artistic in 'those times'. Click here for full sized image.
View of Phillip Island, from Slaughter Bay, Norfolk Island, with the original penal colony of Kingston behind me. Stay tuned for a Norfolk Island ACPPM conference report on Monday. Click here for full sized image.
I couldn't resist this image of a "Thai thinker". It was taken in a hill tribe village in northern Thailand in January 2008. Click here for full sized image.
Carol and I are part way through our third ever visit to Kangaroo Island, the last about 20 years ago, which followed a request for some information about wining and dining in SA. It was also an opportunity to escape the March heat wave in Adelaide as temperatures here, and Penneshaw in particular, are 10 degrees cooler than the mainland. A sudden cool change left us shivering without appropriate clothing! We had just had some exercise climbing down a cliff to photograph a flock of shags but by the time we got close enough for a decent shot they took off. So I took a dozen or so shots of lone birds, small groups and this one. It is not as easy to access wildlife as it was in 1977 when we stayed here with 4 young kids and stumbled on an echidna, a large goanna marching towards us and emus and kangaroos which wanted to join us in the car in search of food. Every thing is controlled by rangers or fences to limit the proximity of the beasts. Click here for full sized image. |
