A rich landscape of rolling spinifex hills, spectacular escarpments and winding tree-lined watercourses makes up the remote 240,000-hectare Millstream Chichester National Park. Located 120 kilometres south of Karratha in WA’s north, the park is known for its lush oases of the Millstream wetlands and Fortescue River pools.

As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of LANDSCOPE magazine, we look back at a groundbreaking program that saw members of the public invited to join conservation scientists in the field to see and participate in hands-on research activities. LANDSCOPE Expeditions ran from 1992 to 2009 and traversed the State, laying the foundation for some major conservation programs that still exist today. 

Since the age of nine, Cliff Winfield has been capturing images of the natural world around him. With a keen eye and some amazing mentors, he has developed a good reputation in Western Australia’s nature photography community and his stunning images have featured in almost every edition of LANDSCOPE magazine since its inception in 1985.
