Skywatch - 11. January 2013

 These days my thoughts goes to Australia with their people and wild life that are struck by all the fires.

I'll never forget my journeys down under.


















This is from the route up to Wilpena Pound from Port Augusta




















Reaching the Flinders Ranges National Park,
we slowed down the speed as you can see why.



















One of the guided tours gave us the unforgetable moment of watching a little colony of the Yellow.footed Wallaby.
Forgive me if I didn't remember the full name, but please remind me.














And for beautiful views from all around the globe,
enjoy the visit to :

My World no 23 - THE FLYING WATER LILY OF WILPENA

Early our last morning at Wilpena Pound it was crispy clear air and a closer look will show you a little frost on the ground,

The weather the days we were at Wilpena Pound was just fantastic.
but it was still a couple of hours before our 1 hour flight.
ARIKA (water lily) is a young woman working at Wilpena Pound Tourist Resort as a pilot. Arika takes tourists on aerial flights from the resort around the pound and on to the surrounding areas. Arika conducts the flights with an informative history of the area and she is a most friendly person and well suited to giving the tourists a great scenic flight.



This must be the most famous view over Wilpena Pound so we also have our own

The north end of the Heysen Trail seen from Parachilna Gorge which means you have the Western Plains to the right. This track is one of the most famous ones in Australia.

Even people of age up here cannot remember seeing this area so green:

And to the left here the "Great wall of China"

This was my little contribution from my world to you this week, don’t miss out on the rest of the world here! mwtblack

My World no 21 – Flinders Range, Wilpena Pound

We have been really busy for a while. Partly because of a trip to Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Range National Park. It takes time to digest such an event and I feel exhausted.

It was at times very busy on the road.

And the views makes words so small and unnecessary

This is only Whiskies first pics among some Gb in RAW format I carried home and she wants her paws on all of them.
I want to share this “little” one:
