After passing through the gorges we drove up higher into the Flinders Rangers to Razorback Lookout.
The Birthday Bear Group on holidays. The breeze was strong up there. (L to R) Paul, George, Helen, Mary, Ann, Bill and moi.
We looked back from where we came towards the Razorback range and Mt St Mary.
We looked ahead where we were to go. I was fascinated with the many clumps of little white flowers covering the hills.
We boarded the coach and continued on towards Wilpena Pound. (An unusual mountain formation)
Birthday Bear was hoping we would arrive soon. She was not too comfortable with her arms stuck in the elasticised seat pocket together with brochures and a water bottle. I wonder what she did to deserve this punishment. Maybe she ate all of Ann's chocolate stash.
Soon we arrived at the Wilpena Resort. We only had a short time to settle into our room before we met for a walk into the Pound.
Hi Diane! Beautiful part of Australia unknown to me! Excellent shots!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
that part of the country always reminds me of an albert namatjira painting. great photos as usual
ReplyDeleteGreat trip! Beautiful area. It looks hot.
ReplyDeleteDiane, great shot of the group and Birthday Bear. The clumps of white flowers all over are pretty. It is wonderful to see all these different parts of your country. It is like I am there.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun read Diane, Australia is a beautiful country and I enjoyed seeing the group photo and the one of Birthday Bear.
ReplyDeletep.s. I know all about chocolate stashes. They are so tempting, so if Birthday Bear got into it, I have every sympathy!
You are truly living your blog title (not the dementia part, of course, just the ADVENTURE part). I admire and am a tad bit jealous of your group's spirit of fun and adventure, discovering all the best of your country. Great travel blog for me!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the Razorback Range, the road and flora, diane. I see a bit more of your beautiful country every time I visit your blog. Thanks for sharing. Jo
ReplyDeleteHey, that bear has no right to complain with all the wonderful trips she makes. I am officially applying for her job when she retires. I want to travel!
ReplyDeleteI am seeing so much of Australia from your travels. If I ever get there, I'll feel I'm in a familiar place!
ReplyDeleteYou got some wonderful pictures of the mountains from the overlook. You're really making me want to visit Australia!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures remind me the Atlas mountains in Morocco ! looks very much the same, strange !
ReplyDeleteYour Australia is an amazing place. I am enjoying your photos and commentary so much.
ReplyDeleteHI Diane, I could tell that it must have been quite windy when you had that picture made. Most everyone was holding their hats..... Cute picture!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes---those flowers are pretty....
Thanks for sharing. We have lots of SNOW here today/tonight and it's VERY cold (wind chills of MINUS 5 degrees F).... Brrrrrr
Hugs,
Betsy
Great shots! Love the text - the time and effort involved in research, editing and uploading is well worth it from the delight your viewers experience. And none more so than yours truly who does love the little side-excursion with Birthday Bear. The first time I've seen a female bear - long may she roam with her adventurous Diane :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Elaine. I was disappointed that you don't have a blog. Anyway welcome to Adventure....
ReplyDeleteAre you home for Christmas or are you traveling?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think of the American immigrants? We get your news everyday.
Hi Diane,
ReplyDeleteThis is quite bizarre...I have been reading your posts and leaving comments on most of them. When I saw your comment on my blog, I went through yours and don't see any of mine. How odd.
I had some problems with my computer but I don't think it should make any difference to blogging...I do hope this shows up, as I have been following and enjoying your trip.
I'm really puzzled.

That particular lookout has the BEST view. I still haven't got over it.
ReplyDeleteDiane I don't have a blog coz I don't have enthusiasm for blogging only reading them! I'm involved with food gardening and contribute to Brisbane Local Food and that's as close as it gets to a blog. http://brisbanelocalfood.ning.com/ if you have time to garden ;-)
