Holiday Photos




Thought you might like to see a few photos of our trip. On the left are the Finders Ranges. It was a blistering 40 degrees in the shade



The next picture is of Wilpena Pound a spectacular rock formation which looks rather like a volcano crater. It is best viewed from the air and we braved a bumpy early morning flight in a small Cesna plane. We had many memorable experiences on this trip but this comes high up the list. The scariest moment was traversing the mountain ridgetops in a 4X4 at Arkaroola, often with sheer drops either side. My stomach is still recovering.

The rest of the time was spent around Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsular doing typical Aussie things - BBQs, wine-tasting, walking on the beach or chilling out by the pool. Our local beach was Brighton, next door to Hove rather like in the UK but only 20 minutes away

The long coastline of Adelaide beaches looks at its best as the sun goes down and the pier can get quite crowded with walkers and fishermen. Either side of high tide you can easily catch blue swimmer crabs, whiting and tommies as well as other wonderfully named varieties
