Before we left Adelaide we were entertained by a pair of bronze wings.
The mating season.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Yorke Peninsula for a bit of relaxation after the pressures of mandolin
orchestra.
First stop Tiparra Rocks for a couple of days.
First we walked north for a couple of hours.
The next day we walked south to Balgowan.
The ice cream shop was closed.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Heaps of hooded plovers.
Lots of notices about protecting them.
Busy little birds. Almost constantly on the move.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
We also ventured into the dunes.
Beautiful white sand and coastal vegetation.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
A narrow strip. A couple of hundred meters before agriculture takes over.
Lots of wheat.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Then more plovers.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
We are at the north end of available camping.
Until a recent storm there was another spot about 30m further north.
A few other campers and fishermen.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The inevitable sunset.
Inevitable because they happen every day. Inevitable photo here.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
These colours were not repeated the following evening.
Every sunset is different.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
On the walk south to Balgowan we watched this kite using the cliffs to help it
soar (like a kite ....).
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
It occasionally stopped for a rest on the cliff face.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Another day. Another sunset.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The rocks that give our campsite its name are a little north.
A large population of cormorants.
There must be lots of fish as they seem to have lots of time to rest.
