Port Augusta

Brian and Cheryl (grey nomad friends) also stayed in Port Augusta for a couple of days. While Brian and Brandt worked on the caravan's power supply Cheryl took me to the local Botanical gardens.


The Flinders Ranges are in the background.


I think this is called a fan flower (above and below)


And then there is my all time favourite Australian wild flower


The Sturt Desert Pea. It makes a beautiful showing


While walking back to the car we came across a shingle back lizard walking across our path. It is also known as a sleepy lizard and is one of the blue tongues


The above photo is a copy from the internet, but the one below is one I captured on my mobile phone as we walked back from town one day.
