The above photos were taken at Hindmarsh Island and surrounding areas (Currency Creek, etc).

Carrickalinga - Fleurieu Peninsula

 

 

It's been quite a while since I last posted any photos; The above photos were actually taken back on the first weekend of Spring.

We were invited to Carrickalinga (not far from Normanville, in the Fleurieu Peninsula), along with my partners parents, to stay at their friends beach shack, to help them cut down a large tree on the property (which we "conveniently" arrived too late for).

During our short stay, we spent as much time on the beach as we could, where I collected shells, coral, sea sponge, even seaweed and sand.

When we got home, my 'beach loot' was put to good use. I used seaweed to make fertiliser for the garden; sand in the vegie garden; cuttlefish in the avery; and I used the shells and coral to create a beach display in a glass cloche.

We spotted the cows on our drive and pulled over to take a few photos.

Photos taken at Miss Mabels cottage and surroundings - Burra. 

Burra

 

 

 

 

My partner's parents recently purchased an old 1860s cottage (Miss Mabels) in Burra, which they are doing-up, in attempt to restore the cottage to it's former glory and turn it back into a B&B (as it is currently being tenanted).

So we have been invited to join them in Burra the past two weekends to help - Although, I'm not sure how much help I've actually been (I think more than anything I've just complained about the cold!) but my partner and his parents have been making great progress!

Taking advantage of the beautiful country surroundings, I've been out and about with my camera and above are some examples (all photos are untouched).

All photo's were taken in and around Miss Mabels Cottage.
