Hindmarsh Island Archives - Peter MacDonald Photo https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/category/hindmarsh-island/ Spectacular pictures by Peter MacDonald, capturing the essence of the Flinders Ranges and outback South Australia.

The jetty at my place is sort of the centre of the 2 kilometre radius that I’m primarily concentrating on.

The Mundoo channel is a highway for boats and fishermen. They’re out mainly for Mulloway and Coorong Mullet in the surrounding waterways. There’s a busy boat ramp a few hundred yards up the channel.

Fishermen are always looking for the information about where the fish are biting and my friend @simoncardonefishes on the right is always looking for the latest information.

Simon is often  fishing the state’s waterway and his tips are regularly posted on Tackle World’s website and his articles appear in the  Fishing SA magazine.

Cloudy Days https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/2024/09/8931/ Sat, 28 Sep 2024 10:37:56 +0000 https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/?p=8931 Cloudy Days

Winter on the coast was an interesting transition from Outback South Australia. It was mostly grappling with overcast skies and marginal light…things that were a small percentage days in the bush.

I’ve got a target of shooting something every day and while I confess at times that has been somewhat difficult there were still opportunities to be had. 

This is the Mundoo Channel a couple of hundred yards from my home on one such day. Soft colours but interesting light. There’ll be a few more of these along the way among the brighter days and interesting events around what is My Place.

My Place https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/2024/09/my-place/ Tue, 24 Sep 2024 23:51:26 +0000 https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/?p=8908

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.
