I never did find out why so many old carts were left here.
The saltbush is a light grey, and lends an unusual look to the image.
It was a parched, hot, and overly bright scene - the 'Outback'.

This image was made with a Nikon F2 (See Here) and
a 'standard' 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lens. The F2 was
the last of the F series before electronics "took over" !
For metering, you do need a small button battery,
but other than that, this camera is as solid
as a tank! It will become as collectible as the
early Leica models, in my opinion.
