Wilpena Pound is an amphitheatre of mountains in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges National Park. Nicholas Harding describes his response to working from this landscape as: 'Reflected sky pooling in stream water. Wattle blooms amongst bark and bough. Bleaching light refracted through twigs and leaves. Birdsong and insect buzz. Wilpena in the spring.’
