In 2003 that we visited South Australia a State of Australia. In those days not many photos were taken by me, but have a few which I haven't shown before.
This place is called Jervis Bay and it's here you catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island. Cape Jervis in near the western tip of Fleurieu Peninsula on the southern end of the Main South Road about 88 kilometres south of Adelaide the capital of South Australia (SA).
You see the lighthouse which is unusual then part of a wind farm which we did visit back then.
The first photo is of Aboriginal Art.
Beautiful art work done by the natives.Wonderful place to relax!that Kangoroo island seems very interesting and funny to visit too:)))
ReplyDeleteThere is accommodation there, wildlife to see and other things to explore and one is bound to see a kangaroo :)
DeleteLovely to see your Aussie photos, I can't wait to be back in Australia for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWell that is just wonderful you are able to return at that time - do enjoy as it's not too far away.
DeleteThat's a beautiful art work!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Angie.
DeleteMe encanta el faro Margaret. El arte aborigen es una maravilla. Mucho trabajo tiene.
ReplyDeleteBuen jueves.
Un abrazo.
A very different lighthouse, but good to see it. The art is excellent.
DeleteThe Native art is stunning, very nice to see. What an interesting name Kangaroo Island is.
ReplyDeleteLovely art, it's interesting. I'm sure we would see many Kangaroo's on the Island Bill.
DeleteHi Margaret. Your photos look so good. Thanks for your sharing. Have a good day :) <3
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThank you Margaret for letting us know different places in Australia, a place that here, Argentina, is known very little or not at all.
ReplyDeleteWho were the first Aborigines of Australia?
To answer your question I came across this information so hope it helps.
DeleteWho was the first Aboriginal on earth?
'The first Aboriginal genome sequence confirms Australia's native people left Africa 75,000 years ago. ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS ARE descendants of the first people to leave Africa up to 75,000 years ago, a genetic study has found, confirming they may have the oldest continuous culture on the planet.'
I am very grateful that you dug these stunning photos out of your archives. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I expect I have a few more photos in the archives somewhere..EC
DeleteThe aboriginal art is so fascinating there. I notice there is a lot of wind turbines there. I read somewhere that 95% of wind turbine renewable energy in Australia is owned by Mainland China...
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure who own most of our turbines, did look it up and the Spanish owns a lot in Australia as in wind turbines, but that's Queensland, did further research and it seems some one in China owns the ones in SA! A mixed bag maybe.
DeleteThe lighthouse is extraordinary. I'm going to have to look that up.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a different type of lighthouse Andrew.
DeleteA nice area. I loved kangaroo Island.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Diane.
DeleteAs with many here, I really like that lighthouse--- A fine post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, a very different lighthouse.
DeleteThe aboriginal art is incredibly detailed and beautiful. I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteThe Aboriginals do have some beautiful art as in paintings and many other various types.
DeleteChe meraviglia!!!
ReplyDeleteCerte cose lasciano veramente a "bocca aperta"
Yes, indeed they do leave us speechless at times.
DeleteI have friends who are headed down your way shortly, Margaret...to tip-toe through the lavender fields. They're looking forward to their holiday. :)
ReplyDeleteOh really. That will be wonderful, the lavender farms are just beautiful when in full bloom. Hoping the weather is good when they come.
