Random Adelaide Photos 2

Belair National Park

On fathers day (aussie date) we went for a hike in Belair National Park and managed to see 14 koalas!! A couple of them were fairly close so we got a few good pictures.




Koalas apparently sleep 18 hours a day, and are generally drunk on eucalyptus leaves the rest of the time! As a consequence, most sightings of koalas don't involve a lot of movement...










Kenny the Koala

Riverland

We also got a few pretty pictures from our trip to the Riverland, but decided it didn't warrant a whole blog page. So we'll put in a couple here.

The River Murray

The Murray is South Australia's main river system. (It also goes through Victoria, N.S.W. and Queensland and therefore is a contentious management/political topic for this water-starved country.)

We went up there for a weekend with school to visit the area, and check out the 3rd year placement sites in the area at Renmark, Berri, Loxton, etc.


There really are a lot of sheep here!
They are very cute (though apparently not so smart...)
