Adelaide with Good Friends
What a difference a 2-hour flight south west can make! We left the green and relatively lush east coast and crossed Australia to Adelaide, seeing the land beneath us get browner and browner until we landed. This region hasn't had rain for 2 months until today when a cool change is happening (lowering the temperature from 40 to 30, we're told).
We'll see....

On their favourite beach in Normanville
Pretty but both flowers and insects are unknown to me.
Deep Creek Conservation Area was a new destination for all of us so we took 24 hours to explore it together.
watching crested terns on the beach ...
... while Western Gray kangaroos watched us.
Almost always a roo can be seen somewhere in the vicinity.
This baby is standing up very straight, just as his mother instructed him!
Our home away from home in a ridgetop retreat. Very modern, very comfortable (especially because the night time temperature was quite cool.) It was perfect for an overnight getaway for the four of us.

Di photographing Kangaroo Island in the distance
Deep Creek's stringybark eucalypt forest with understorey of grass trees, also called "black boys" because of their tolerance for fire, remaining as standing black living beings after fires denude and char them. Not sure if this name is politically correct but it is certainly descriptive!!!
so many gorgeous bottle brushes
a lovely mixture of beach plants and rocks none of which I recognize
the rocky shores of Second Valley
a challenge for a geologist?
