One of my plants that I love, are these incredibly yellow lilies. Their leaves are so beautiful too, with the small white flecks. Every year, they spring up in a large clump right outside my bedroom window. It always feels like a huge bouquet of flowers just for me. They are just starting out for […]
Day 304 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
I’m out in my mother’s backyard. It’s the most beautiful morning. Mum has her Christmas decorations up. It feels so festive.
Day 303 – Oval Bench
The Corella flock is over near the oval. I don’t have much to say today. Maybe it’s because there was so many exciting benching opportunities while we were on holidays, and now, it’s just back to the every day. I’ve been wondering about what to take a picture of and I think I’ve found it. […]
Day 302 – Private Bench
It’s feels like a really long time since I’ve seen the river this low. All of the steps down to the water at Private Bench are out. The causeway at Northern Bench is almost out of the water too. It’s so different to the flooded Murray in yesterday’s post.
Day 301 – Rocky Point Bench
I see kangaroos bouncing through the dry fields. It’s hot, it’s windy, there’s flies all around me, and the Murray River down there is flooded. There was sandbags all down the main street in Mannum when we drove through this morning. Some houses are already underwater. A lot of people closest to the river have […]
Day 300 – Mannum Hills Bench
We’re back on the mainland now, in a little town on the Murray river called Mannum. The Bench is out the front of our Air BnB. It has a nice view. We can just the the flooded Murray river in the distance, we’re going to go down and check it out. A pair of Corellas […]
Day 299 – Vivonne Bench
Vivonne Bay, Kangaroo Island. It’s is absolutely stunning. It’s a huge white beach with beautiful sand dunes behind it and rock pools at low tide. We went snorkelling by the pier before, and now I’ve found a peaceful rock down by the water’s edge. This rock is sheltered from the wind by a larger rock, […]
Day 298 – Scott’s Bench
At Scott’s Cove lookout on the north-western side of Kangaroo Island. The view is sensational. No Bench here, I’m sitting on the tailgate of the ute. It’s windy, just like it has been the whole time we’ve been here.
Day 297 – Admiral’s Bench
On the Bench at Admiral’s Arch at Kangaroo Island, South Australia. There’s nobody here but my son and I in the Arch, and the seals. There’s seals everywhere, they’re sleeping on rocks and swimming in the water. There’s some in the photo, but they’re camouflaged on the rocks. The a lot of Giant Gulls here, […]
Day 296 – Harvey’s Return Bench
It’s a beautiful, wild-feeling Bench this one. It’s at Harvey’s Return Campground. It overlooks the trailhead down into the cove. There’s wildflowers all around. The flora here is so unique and wonderful. You can see the grey ocean in the distance underneath the stormy sky.
