Murray Mouth Archives - Peter MacDonald Photo https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/category/murray-mouth/ Spectacular pictures by Peter MacDonald, capturing the essence of the Flinders Ranges and outback South Australia. Sat, 05 Oct 2024 01:36:58 +0000 en-US hourly 1 The Jetty https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/2024/10/the-jetty/ Sat, 05 Oct 2024 01:35:52 +0000 https://petermacdonaldphoto.com.au/?p=8934

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.

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.

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.

Murray Mouth
Through storm, wind and rain the iron lady continues her task of keeping the waters flowing through the small outlet that is the Murray Mouth. Without the dredge that shifting sand would close the gap casing major ecological damage to the surrounding area and fisheries.

The end of the line for Australia longest waterway.  2,500 kilometres long, the Murray meanders down from high in the Australian Alps in New South Wales.
A photo of the Mouth it’s almost impossible without having at least of the three dredges working to keep the outlet open.
The dunes though are windswept, every-changing fine sand.
The image is one of the features in my gallery which is not far from the Murray Mouth. Open this weekend Saturday and Sunday 11am -3pm
