Mildura, Mungo and Murray River.

Above: Modern houseboats cruising on the Murray River are a far cry from the days of early settlement at Mildura.

Present day Mildura may not have existed were it not for Victorian Cabinet Minister Alfred Deakin and the Chaffey brothers, George and William, from Ontario, USA. BY ROGER NEAL

n 1847 the Jamieson brothers set up a pastoral site on the banks of the Murray River. In 1858 the site was officially named Mildura but the Jamieson’s pastoral lease eventually expired.

and presents an absorbing over-view of the history of Mildura. One feature of this tour is the old Mildura homestead, a reconstruction on the site of the original Mildura homestead established by the Jamieson brothers. It now serves as a museum and display of farming equipment used in and around Mildura during the late 19th century. Another must see tourism spot in this area is Mungo Lakes National Park, site of the discovery

The Chaffey brothers arrived in 1887, bought the defunct pastoral lease, and set about developing a series of steam-driven pumps to lift water from the Murray River and irrigate up to 33,000 acres.

They had designed a model irrigation settlement for Ontario when Alfred Deakin and the Victorian Government convinced them to travel to Mildura to set up their irrigation scheme there. The successful growing of fruit trees by the Chaffeys proved the potential for an irrigation settlement and Mildura was established. Visitors can take a tour on the Chaffey Trail which relates the story of the Chaffey brothers’ work

lost interest in driving another 26km over bone jarring roads, out to the ‘Walls of China’ to capture sunset photos. Nor did we wish to be traveling corrugated roads in the dark so headed back to the comfort of our van in Mildura. One of the nicest ways to relax in Mildura is to take a cruise down the Murray River aboard the PS Melbourne, a historic wood-fired steam driven paddle steamer. Relax and enjoy the sweet, pungent smell of Mallee red gum logs burning to get up a full head of steam, then with two toots of the steam horn, cast off and you’re on your way. The journey goes up river to Lock 11, where we entered the lock at river level and a houseboat just managed to fit in along side us. Three sharp toots on the horn had warned the Lockmaster of our approach, out of site around the bend, and he was ready with the lock gates open before we arrived. Gates are closed, water is

released from the lock and we slowly drop about 5 metres to level off with the river on the opposite side of the lock. The gates are opened and our cruise continues up river. All the while we are treated to an entertaining, informative commentary from the captain relating the history of the river, the building of the lock system and the river traffic. We just lounged back and enjoyed the river’s sites and sounds. Eventually our boat returned down river, through the lock again and back to Mildura. A most relaxing « way to finish a visit to Mildura.

of the remains of 50,000 years old Mungo Man and Mungo Woman. The road to Mungo is more suited to 4WD vehicles, but 2WD vehicles can negotiate it with care, depending on when maintenance was done. When we visited, the first 30km of road was sealed, the remaining 80km were corrugations, ruts, holes, rocks and hard mini sand dunes. We bounced, rattled, shook and jarred our way to the visitor centre only to arrive hot, dusty and tired. Located at the visitor centre, the shearer’s shed is all that remains of a pioneering sheep raising venture. It’s a marvel of engineering ingenuity! The pioneers used any materials they could find to build the shed. No nails, no bolts – all major framing is tied together using fencing wire, with finer wire or ropes used for fixing everything else together. During our visit the air temperature became very hot and we

Photo Idea

ou’re out shooting great scenic photos when all of a sudden you realize the scene in front of you would make a great panorama, if only you had a super-wide-angle lens! Don’t despair. Here’s the simplest way to achieve panoramic photos in 3:1 ratio (width is 3 times the depth), with the use of only a standard lens... Starting images

Final Panorama

My usual process is – capture four to five frames in ‘portrait’ (vertical) format for eventual merging in Photoshop Elements (PSE) or Photoshop. Portrait format gives more image area at top and bottom of each frame for better cropping options when the initial merge is completed. The example photos (above) were shot hand-held with my elbows resting on the top of a concrete wall to stabilise the camera. Obviously, shooting on a tripod using cable release will give better, more controlled results. But, with lots of care, hand-held shooting can achieve excellent results too.

the Browse button, which allows you to navigate to the photo sequence on your computer.

To get started – Open PSE in ‘Expert’ mode. Choose Enhance>Photomerge®> Photomerge®Panorama. In Photomerge window click

Click OK button Wait until PSE finishes its merging operations and your merged panorama appears in the PSE editing window.

Select the sequence and click Open button. The selected files are listed in the Photomerge window.

Under Layout menu at left select Auto. Beneath the file list check the Blend Images Together box.

Choose No button when Clean Edges dialogue appears. Results when choosing Yes button are not always clean, or how you might like them. I prefer to crop the merged files to my choice of composition, so

this choice becomes superfluous. In the right hand panel, notice that PSE has automatically created layers and their associated masks. Cropping is the fun bit where you get to choose the final composition of your panorama. Select the Cropping tool (under MODIFY in the tools menu). PSE gives you various options at bottom left of the image. Choose Custom in the drop down menu then insert your required dimensions in the W and H boxes below that.

Default measure is in cm (centimeters) but I prefer to control image dimensions using px (pixels). In this example I have typed 7500 px and 2500 px into the respective width and height boxes. My preferred Resolution is 300 pixels/inch, as this usually gives slightly better definition to an image.

Out and About around Australia - Volume 1, Issue 3, November/December 2013

easy way to make Panorama photos – using Photoshop Elements 11.

I use pixels as my measure at this stage because the output resolution of almost all commercial printing devices is set to 250 pixels per inch. This means that I can order a print of my final panorama at maximum size of 30”x10” (7500x2500÷250 = 30x10). When matted and framed, this print size suits most wall areas in a home.

Use the box style handles on the cropping frame to position the frame exactly where you want it. When happy, click the green Arrow at bottom right of cropping frame.

PSE displays your panorama ready for further editing. I recommend you save the photo at this stage, as a .psd file, in a folder of “masters” on your com-

puter. This way, you always have the original file to come back to for additional enhancing, manipulation or outputting in other file formats. Further editing options from this point on are a matter of personal taste and how we wish to present your photo to the public. My preference is to make photos as realistic as possible, or to reflect what was in my mind’s eye when shooting the image. However, all photos can be manipulated in many ways to increase a viewer’s pleasure. In the next installment of this Photo Idea I’ll show one way I might further enhance this photo.

Here are the camera settings I normally use when shooting for panoramas. Make adjustments to these to suit your style, or shooting conditions on the day. 1. 50mm focal length is close to how our eyes tend to see things, so my lens is set at somewhere between 30mm and 55mm focal length. 2. The camera is pointed at what will be the centre position of the panorama. ISO, White balance, Aperture and Shutter speed are set to obtain optimum exposure for this position. 3. Camera is then turned vertically to shoot all frames in ‘portrait’, or vertical format. Watching through the viewfinder (or in Live View) ensure that the Start, Centre and End points of your scene can be captured in four (maximum five) frames. There must be at least 25% to 30% overlap of content in each frame to enable PSE to accurately stitch later, during the merging process. 4. Confirm that the exposures for Start point and End point both fall within +/- 1 stop of the optimum exposure established in step 2, above. Adjust exposure compensation to ensure no clipping of either shadows or highlights. 5. Focus on a point approximately one third of way into your centre position, or a key point of interest at that position. Lock focus (switch lens to Manual Focus without moving the lens). In one clean, smooth sweep, either left to right, or right to left, make the sequence of all four or five frames for your panorama. 6. Review frames in camera. If necessary, adjust exposure or composition and shoot more sequences until you’re happy with the results.

Cruising down the NSW southern coast.

After a week in Canberra it was time to discover the joys of touring down the south east of NSW, through the Clyde Coast, Eurobodalla Coast and Sapphire Coast. BY ROGER NEAL

pretty holiday destination so we pulled into the Kiama Harbour Cabins for a three-day stay to check out the local attractions. The most visited of these is the lighthouse and blowhole almost in the centre of town. Parking near the lighthouse is plentiful so it’s easy to get a good view of the geyser like sprays from the blowhole. The blowhole point café is a great place for delicious lunches and

also very helpful in making up a special gluten-free salad for my wife. Traveling east, the road takes you down through Macarthur Pass, a very steep road full of twists and hairpin bends, which eventually flows out of tall forests onto gently rolling countryside of farms and small villages. We reached the coast at Shellharbour and headed south on the Princes Highway. Kiama is a very popular and

Our journey from Canberra to the coast took us along the Illawarra Highway to Moss Vale and then on to Robertson. Anyone traveling through Robertson has to stop at the famous pie shop. The list of pie varieties available has to be seen to be believed! My beef, tomato and onion flavoured pie was delicious, with possibly the best flakey pastry I have ever enjoyed. The town’s café was

a chat with other tourists and some of the locals too. Continuing south, we journeyed through a countless series of delightful bays, inlets and coastal lakes. One of these days we’ll be back to spend time at each location. We had made a forward booking for five nights at the Easts Riverside Holiday Park in Batemans Bay so had to keep moving. From the northern side of the Clyde River this park has delightful views of the township directly across the river. It is large and spacious with sites capable of taking all sizes of caravans or motorhomes. We had timed our stay to be there during Victoria’s Melbourne Cup weekend – what a great choice that turned out to be! On Melbourne Cup day the proprietors served up a free barbecue of mushrooms stuffed with smoked salmon and cheese, absolutely delicious. Free morning tea with cakes or pancakes every Tuesday is a regular event at this park. Batemans Bay’s many attractions include a boat cruise up the river to Nelligen for lunch, fishing spots all along the river, three bowling clubs, two golfing clubs, five licensed clubs and restaurants and cafés catering to every taste. All the usual supermarkets and shopping centres are there too. Moving on, our next stop

was to be Merimbula, another popular south coast holiday resort centre, as well as a major oyster farming area. With time on our hands we decided to make the short detour off Princes Highway to visit the heritage listed village of Tilba Tilba. This village is a great place to visit for a break from driving and to sample the cheeses and fudges, which it is famous for. Having sampled as many cheeses as possible we purchased a couple of varieties to enjoy later on our travels, and continued the drive to Merimbula. We stayed at the Merimbula Beach Holiday Park, up on Short Point, where the views north across the surf beach and the Pacific Ocean are spectacular. Big Lake is another view worth seeing and is located right next to the surf beach, only five minutes walk from the holiday park. Visitors and residents who like to get their daily exercise of walking, jogging or bike riding like to take the 3km track to nearby Pambula beach. Virtually a suburb of Merimbula, Pambula has a delightful, safe swimming beach patrolled by the local surf club, or, there is a beautiful, clean picnic area and children’s playground on the banks of Pambula River estuary to enjoy. The final significant township on this coastal drive, before crossing into Victoria, is Eden.

Perched on Twofold Bay – the third deepest natural harbour in the southern hemisphere – it’s a fisherman’s paradise. Years ago it was home to shore-based whaling stations and Old Tom, the legendary killer whale whose story can be learned at the Eden Killer Whale Museum. It is also where yachts competing in the annual Sydney to Hobart ocean race head to if they get into difficulties out on the ocean. Crossing the border into Victoria we decided to detour into Mallacoota at the eastern end of Croajingolong National Park. But, that’s another story for « another time.
