tiabunna's photos with the keyword: Sth Australia

I don't normally post others' photos, but my sister-in law Jan has kindly provided these for posting, as this is several days' drive away from where I live. These two images (see also PiP) are of current flooding near Mannum, a town on the lower reaches of the Murray River in South Australia. The river is not normally visible in the locations of either of these images, it's usually toward the hills in the distance of this image. Sorry, but I can't get the map link to work. To give some idea of the extent of the river and the size of Australia, these same floodwaters were causing major problems in eastern Australia back in mid-October and only now are reaching their peak here. This is the largest flood to reach Mannum in over 50 years and will continue for at least several weeks. Come to a point, at present Australia is having extreme floods right across the country, which can be linked to climate change..

From my archives. Dry stone walls are very uncommon in Australia. These are near the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and wishing you a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Sunset at Clare, South Australia. This seems a reasonable musical link - can't say I'd previously heard this version, but I rather like it. Explored.

Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Best viewed large.

We took a side road which ran alongside the escarpment of the Murray River. This area was not having such a good season as other areas we traversed.

After the harvest.

It's great that real paddle steamers still operate on the Murray. Explored.
