We left the Semaphore area and went to the city again. This time we decided to visit the marked and to enjoy some food.
We liked the market and we enjoyed our lunch with Asian specialties from the food stalls there, that was a great opportunity for some take away food for the next travelling day.

Adelaide is really a big town, but the traffic is so well organized that we had the impression there is a lot of space in this town.
That morning we decided to visit the area of the caravan park near the sea and we went to Semaphore area.
The wind that surprised us during the night was still there, so no bathing day again!

We arrived in the afternoon in Adelaide, found our place in the caravan park and went to the city. This was the really first hot day we had in Australia, and we enjoyed the heat. By public transport we arrived into the center and we enjoyed walking around and taking pictures. We crossed many road full of bicycles until we found out that a special event had just found.

We left the Coorong National Park, we left the coast, but we had not long to wait until we arrived at Lake Albert.
We stopped at the park for our pic-nick lunch at the shadow under the tree. The place was a good choice as a full infrastructure for picnic is available here.
For those who have more time I would recommend this place and sorrounding and perhaps to stay here overnight.

We left Kinston early in the morning as we knew we would have a long day and we will reach Adelaide only in the evening.
The first stop was the Coorong National Park where we spent some hours wondering the flora and the animal life.
Stretching more than 130 kilometers, the Coorong National Park includes sand dunes, backwater, salty lakes and is a refuge for pelicans, ducks, swans, cormorants, terns, grebes and numerous species of migratory birds.
We were glad we hat the possibility to see a shingleback lizard (Tiliqua rugosa) and take some picture of it.

After 3 days in Warrnambool we left Victory and we reached in South Australia. After about 340 km drive along an empty highway, plenty of optical illusions (fata morgana) we reached Kingston.
This place is the ‘Gateway to the South East’, Kingston S.E. is at the southern end of Coorong National Park on Lacepede Bay. This area was once home to the Ngarrindjeri, Aboriginal river people of the lower Murray River, western Fleurieu Peninsula, and the Coorong of southern, central Australia.
This famous lobster town was established in 1858 and its shallow lakes and lagoons are a haven for birdlife. The big lobster and the lighthouse are the most photographed emblem of Kingston.

The Great Ocean Road is really plenty of highlight. A few examples: the Grotto, Loch Ard Gorge, Bay of Martyrs, Bay of Islands and Loch Ard Gorge
On a day trip from Warrnambool we went back in direction of Port Campbell as our friend Jan and Russ knew a lot about these places. A really wonderful day trip, attractive places and dramatic views.
I will show you some picture and give you some links were you will find the corresponding infos.
Enjoy the picture and visit these places if you have the possibility; you will not regret this!

Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve is situated in the crater of an extinct volcano near Warrnambool (Victoria). The reserve was formed thousands of years ago after a violent volcanic eruption that created a funnel-shaped crater which was later filled by the lake, creeks and formed the islands.
European settlers cleared much of it for grazing, firewood and destroyed almost the entire wildlife. Finally in 1961 Tower Hill was declared Victoria’s seventh wildlife reserve and a huge program started trying to reconstruct the flora and fauna to its natural state of the 1850s. The restoration based on a detailed painting of Tower Hill in 1855 from Eugene von Guerard.
Today koalas, emus, kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, sugar-gliders, possums and many species of water birds roam freely in Tower Hill.
The landscape is magnificent and this place is really worth to visit, it is located a short drive from Warrnambool!
We enjoyed this place very much with our friend Jan and Russ, thanks them we had the opportunity to see this place and the wildlife,

This is a basic recipes for cut out cookies. In my case I used the “Australian animals cookie cutters” I bought during our trip in Australia early this year. For this reason I’m presenting them as a photomontage with one of the pictures taken in the Red Center,
For the best taste you should use butter, but you can use margarine as well. In this case the dough could result more humid and an addition of flour + sugar could be necessary; no problem, this is fast done.
We bought these cutters in Australia during our vacations. I planned to prepare the cookies and paint them with glaze. Well, they were too cute and the relief came so perfect, that I decided to let them plain.
Layers are used in digital image editing to separate different elements of an image or to overlap them.
In this case I collected the photos of Truck driving across Australia and I processed it together.
