Flinders Ranges

When I started to sort out the pictures for our Gorge drives, I realised that they don't do Flinders Ranges justice.  You need to see it to realise the hidden beauties of this place.  Not only the scenery but also Australias wildlife.  Whereever I looked there was something to take photo off.. animals, flowers, insects etc.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I haven't had a chance to find out the names of some of the insects, so anyone reading this blog know any of them... please share :)

 
 
 
 
 
 
Emu family
 
Red footed rock wallaby
 
Shingled lizard or as the Aussies call them, sleepy lizard
 
Would love to know what this one is called.  If I hadn't seen it jump
I would have seen it at all.

My Geocaching husband looking for a Cache in all the wrong places :)

If you look at this image closely, what do you see?
I see a hairless animal body, outstretched foot and a tail?
Do I need help or new glasses?? LOL

Lerderderg National Park




The 3rd day of our trip around victoria with our ohhhh so great car, from which I sometimes don't feel like getting out of. lol was on dry land. We visited Lerderderg National park in Blackwood, vic. This park offered a bit of everything....lots of dry, bit of wet, heaps of bumpy roads....and endless roads that just took us around and around the park, looking for a way out. After finding out way out, we rewarded ourselves with a low fat, healthy hamburger :)

Hope you enjoy the photos :)
