My World no 13

It's a lot of things happening, so I'll just show you a group of Australian White Ibis taking of from a patch of "soak" land and the Railway station in Port Germein.

Here is The Ghan, that has just been in the media all over the world. This pictures are taken by my sister in law, Denise, in 2004. That was the very first time The Gahn could drive all the way up to Darwin from Adelaide and not just to Alice Springs. Of course there was a lot of people from town watching while the train was waiting on the side line at Port Germein station.

And then, today, we visited the train station to see the place.

I am really enjoying your photos from Port Germein. The ibis are beautiful and The Ghan is amazing!

Beautiful Ibiz!! We just had the storks arrive over here, which means that rainy season is on its way!

Warm greetings from Africa!

Just discovering your blog and of course I'm falling in love with your Australian landscapes and wildlife.
Thanks for your beautiful photos!

I've tried to find out if South Australia is your permanent residence or not, it's not really clear from your reading your blog.

Thanks for all comments, it's nice to share my visions and get so much positive respons. I'll try to briefly answer the questions I got in the last posts.

Yes I now live in France. My heart and mind feel at home in La Pène. Port Germein, I'm just visiting to be close to my near family for a few months. Read more in My World no 12 if you want. Port Germein is a charming little town, but the contrast between the to places are breathtaking and they are sadly "two nights and a day" apart.
