Our World Tuesday - Heading North


Just back from a wonderful trip up north
to the desert country

there may be quite a few instalments if anyone
is interested

first destination was Port Augusta
but here are  few pictures on the way there


Pink Lake at Lochiel


drinking in the sight of the colourful lake


a wattle in full bloom


the many shades of wonder of the lake and beyond


a rather unfortunate sign
the normal understanding of 'at large' 
usually refers to escaped convicts or wild beasts


an overgrown garden
around a deserted house


that obviously had seen better days

  7. Oh love the images of your roadtrip Arija. So the yellow bush is called a wattle? I would have guessed a wattle was a bird if I'd seen that word out of context. I look forward to more pictures of your trip (you know I am a big fan of roadtrips as well as being a scenery junkie, so the more the better for me!) I am just so happy that you could do this trip! Thank you for sharing.

  14. I have heard of these pink bodies of water, but never seen one, so I didn't know if they were actually real!
    Great shots, Arija, so glad you had a wonderful trip.
