Torrens River Day Out

We've been pretty lucky with our weather in SA & a stroll along the river's edge is just the thing to somewhat reconnect with nature. Check out all the creatures large & small we encountered along the way.

The day began with part of a cricket game. I'm still struggling with the rules, but at least it is similar to baseball. The largest difference is number of runs scored...we are talking hundreds for cricket & you know a dozen is pretty huge in b-ball.

Then we gazed at some baby swans...Cam thought they were pretty ugly, but still fluffy & lets face it most little things are just cute.

Then further upstream there was a turtle sun bathing/basking. A pelican came in for a closer view with a black bird in the background, I think another swan. Crazy that C was able to catch all 3 in one shot.


My absolute favorite animals were this band of duckies. There were over a dozen! Everyone was trying to count them & they just kept wandering & swimming and being lost or left behind. You could tell they were probably only a week old.

We ended our bike tour with a couple of lamas outside the prison. It was a furry end to a wonderful trip on the Torrens River.
