Around A-Town

Cam & I have had a bit of time around Adelaide and snapped some shots at the Botanical Gardens and also Port Adelaide. Here's a shot of us over a small channeled creek right next to where we saw a kookaburra hanging on a bench, then in a tree.


The primary building in the gardens is this glass house, shaped more like a sail than a typical house. In front, there is a glass wave statue in the center of a fountain. I'm looking through its center.

I think the coolest part was a HUGE pond with super-sized lily pads floating on top. These pads were wicked spiky and I got a fantastic close up shot.

We also went to Port Adelaide as well, just up the road, with Gabriella. There were storage buildings for all the wool coming in from the countryside. Here's a shot with me next to one of the bail compactors. The building has been used right now as a storage facility & this bail compactor remains in the same place it has for 100+ years.


A shot of the port itself shows a boat and some silos...ahh, silos.
