Love the first one Don't think I've ever seen the side angle, it's great! What is the faint white outline on the curve of the roofs? At first I thought it might be an HDR artifact, but on reflection it looks like a handrail? Easily my favorite out of this set.
Having said that I also quite like the harbour shot with the sailing boats and catamaran, however it bugs me that it's not level and I think the ship's wake visible along the lower edge is a bit distracting.

I have been interested in Australia for awhile. Is it possible for me to get into contact with the Aborigines people so that I can stay with them, live with them and take pictures of them, is that possible?
I have stayed with the northern native people of Thailand like this, livin' in the same way as them. I have payed them of course. I jus' wondered if I could do the same with the Aborigines.

I can't see why not, the aboriginals are not segregated. I have been interested in Australia for awhile. Is it possible for me to get into contact with the Aborigines people so that I can stay with them, live with them and take pictures of them, is that possible?

Some do choose to live in thier own communities in various parts of the country and as far as I know you are allowed to enter these areas with permission of course.

Yes Tim it is a handrail, used for maintenance purposes. Love the first one Don't think I've ever seen the side angle, it's great! What is the faint white outline on the curve of the roofs?

Nice shots from a lovely city - spend a month there some 10 years ago. Now I have relatives there whom I have never met so plan to go back some day.
Paulyrichard. It shouldn't be hard to find aboriginals for your kind of documentary photography. When I travelled through the outback I met plenty sitting around talking, drinking and like Australians in general they were at least happy to small talk for a minute. I didn't pursue it any further than that - personally I can't do the "now let me take a picture of you"-routine.
