Creatively explore the theme 'Make Your Mark Australia' through your photograph.

When it's hot and dusty and your best mate hasn't got a river or dam to drink from, you offer him your hat. This is an age old custom amongst the outback folk in Australia, and this little bloke is keen to learn how to muster a mob of sheep and then be rewarded with drink from his master's hat, so he's got something to leave his mark with on his master's boot.

    Many thanks for all your generous comments. The vault has some truly beautiful images, such an inspiration for anyone, not just the photographer. Australia has a vast resource for picture rich environments, and a great deal of them right at your doorstep.
