Composite Imaging in Photoshop

Using a number of stock images (at bottom) - available from www.sxc.hu/index.html it is a relatively simple matter to create a realistic movie poster. Thanks to webdesign.org for the tutorial.

Wilcannia

Located 965 klm north west of Sydney on the banks of the Darling River is the town of Wilcannia.  Whilst it has signs of having once been a thriving community the population now is approximately 600 and many of the buildings are abandoned.

It has a large Aboriginal community, being the traditional home of the Barkindji people

On the Barrier Highway 196 klm from Broken Hill you would likely only stop to refuel.
