Kangaroos

I couldn't decide which Kangeroo pictures to share here and so I decided to give

 them a post of their own and share some of my favorites :)

Thank you for your visit and comments.

Arkaroo Rock, Flinders Ranges

Arkaroo Rock is a small cave with ancient aboriginal paintings.

It's a 3km rocky loop with not only interesting views over the valley,

but lots of other interesting things for my camera to focus on :)

I will let the pictures do the talking :)

 

 

The Aussies call this the Christmas Beetle!

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for visiting and comments :)

Melbourne to Flinders Ranges

Off we go on our trip to Flinders Ranges.

We have no idea what to expect on this nearly 1300km drive and so our coolbox is full

with ice, drinks, snacks, our own pillows and not to forget the more important items

like Mobiles, Ipads, navigator and all the electronic devices we can't imagine living

without anymore :) Little did we know....  !!!!

And then it started..kms and kms of long roads like this.

Scenes like this, very bare with no greenery, barely any trees and wheat fields as

 far as the eye can see.

Herbies last resting place?? :)

The further we got, the hotter it got, till it peaked at 40degrees!!

After 8 hours driving we finally arrived  at Mildura, where we spent the night.

A sudden change of scenery... imagine how surprised we were to see palm trees!!

and beautiful Jacaranda trees!!

Of course we can't forget the Geocaching we did on the way. 

Nope the cache is not there B... get your head out of that hole

 and look alittle bit more to the right. :)

We left Mildura for the rest of the journey.. and back to dry and bare scenery.

We found this huntsman spider sitting under a Geocache which B. was brave enough to retrieve.

Another interesting stop.. the Boot camp :)

It looks like a storm is brewing???

After nearly 12 hours drive we finally arrived at our apartment at Rawsley Park Station in Hawkers, Flinders Ranges. The last part of the drive was very slow because of all the Kangeroos on the road.

The expected storm did arrive and I was able to take my first over lightening photos :)

This lightening cause power failure in my parts of South Australia, as well as our park.  We had generators for electricity but for the rest of our stay in Flinders we had no mobile reception and no internet.. How did we live without these things before?????????

 

Echuca, Murray River

Echuca is an absolutely gorgeous place to visit.  Here are some of the pictures I took here.  We did the 1 hour boat ride on the Emmylou down the Murray River.

Kookaburra

I could have spent all day making pictures of these young Kookaburras :)

Photos of the Day

Today we drove to Werribee Gorge and then back via Bacchus Marsh. 
Here are some pictures of things that caught my camera eye today :) 

I am sure it was posing for me :)

This will be a beautiful butterfly soon..
at least I hope so :)

In a field of dried leaves and grass was this single

wild poppy!

A typical Australian scene. I love these ones.

Definately in need of a renovation!!

Somebody definately doesn't like rabbits!!

St. Leonards to Port Arlington

Here are some of the pictures between St. Leonards and Port Arlington.

This is the Rental that we will make the Australian roads unsafe with :) :)

Do remember we come from a country where we drive on the right hand side!!!

Mind you, we have a Swiss navigator that reminds us to drive on the left side!

There he is again!
The Geocacher looking for the cache in the wrong place again :)

You Yangs Regional Park, Victoria

I didn't realise that there was such a nice Park, so close to home :)

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

Giant Red Bull Ant!!  *shudders at the thought of it* !!
