Sunrise on the Mundoo Channel. How peaceful can it get. Appropriate too for the start of something new….. a look at the pictures I’ve taken around where I hang out out now far from the Flinders Ranges and Outback that was my home for a couple of decades.

I must admit the transition wasn’t easy. However  I reckon there’s images to be made here too, particularly when it comes to the amazing range of colours that change through times of day, weather and seasons. 

The Mundoo Channel is part of a waterway linking the vast Murray River where it flows into the ocean. And it’s connected to the fascinating Coorong coastal lagoon ecosystem. It’s roughly 130 kilometres south of Adelaide.

It’s an area teaming with many species of birds and other wildlife and a mecca for boaties, fishermen, kayakers and nature lovers.

The images to come will mostly be limited an area about 1.5 to 2 kilometres from my place as well as excursions around  Hindmarsh Island, the Coorong  and the nearby river township of Goolwa.

The Posing Egret https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/2021/01/the-posing-egret/ Thu, 31 Dec 2020 20:00:38 +0000 https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/?p=8186

It’s pristine white feathers perfectly offset by the darkened waters edge beneath the jetty. The shadow of its neck along the back atop two very long legs.  This bird would look good on any catwalk. Its pose is well practised as it waits still and patient for some unsuspecting fish to swim by.

The image is one of the features in my gallery that is located at 76 Mundoo Channel Drive, Hindmarsh Island, South Australia. Open this weekend Saturday and Sunday 11am-3pm.
