One of the few things we did out-and-about last week was to go to Jesse Gap with friends. The older kids had a lot of fun climbing up the rocks. There was a “cave” up behind the trees and the boys spent a long time exploring while the younger ones hid plastic Easter eggs in the grass. (Yes, we kept a hawk’s-eye out for snakes!) Meanwhile, on the home front...
It has been raining quite a bit the past few days. The other day, a friend of a friend stopped at the Todd River bed, which is normally dry. He happened to catch the river just as it started to flow! The kids and I drove by around 11am (a half hour after this was shot) and the river was full from bank to bank and quite deep! Amazing!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPhK4TO1tto
We put up a brick of bird seed on the front fence. Last week in addition to the Port Lincoln (Ring-Necked) Parrots we had a number of galahs come in for a feed.
These flowers grow here in Central Australia. My neighbor has some growing on the verge. I’ve always liked them because they’re quite unique, so thought I’d snap a picture or two and share them here.
