Burra Creek

Click for 808kb image

This photo was taken at the Burra Creek and as you can see there is a massive Eucalyptus Gum Tree reaching for the sky. This tree is one of many in the area and worth visiting for a picnic with family and friends.

For those that are more adventurous and do live further away from Burra Creek and can't manage a day trip, it is a great camping area as well with two long drop toilets provided. There are no shower facilities. Adding money to the donation box helps keep the camping area in the great condition that it is in.

Take a closer look at this image and you will see my brother's caravan tucked away in the shady area. Tomorrow my husband and I along with my brother and his wife plus another couple who are dear friends to us all are leaving for a holiday traveling North with our caravans, which will last a little over three weeks. My brother has made up a itinerary of our trip and weather permitting we will be sticking to the plan as laid out and you can view it by clicking here.

During this period I doubt that I will get a chance to update any of my blogs as the trip is full on. I will make up for the lack of post though with images that I am told will want me painting and I hope at the same time, images that will stimulate you as well.

If you are a regular visitor to this blog or even a new reader and like what you see it would be ideal to subscribe to my blog by email updates or RSS feed alerts so that you know when I am posting again. Don't know how? I have written a post here that will help you out.

Emu with Seven Chicks

Click for 675kb image

True, there are seven chicks in this image! Can you find the seventh little guy?

Emus are birds I have a great deal of respect for, when trying to photograph them. This group were up against a wire fence which slowed them down enough to get a photo but also aware that dad would have felt trapped if I tried to get closer and no way was I going to have him taking after me when he felt the need to protect his little family.

I am disappointed with the quality of the photo, as I am with the remainder that I have on file. I hope to remedy this in September when I will be sharing the company of emus. Well not literally, but sometimes they do walk past the shearing shed during the art exhibition in the Central Flinders Ranges.
