Lush plant-life, flowing water, plenty of birds, lizards & sunshine - a lovely morning spent at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens. Also, a morning tea-time encounter.

ducking & weaving...

We've spent the last few days in Adelaide - catching up with family, visiting the museum, shopping & (the main reason for the trip) running the 3km in the City-to-Bay.

After all the training it was nice to complete the run & I'm pretty sure we'll be attempting the 6km, or maybe even the full 12km, next year. I knew that there would be a lot of people, but I wasn't prepared for quite so many - the crowd was huuuuuuge (almost 31,000 apparently).

Before heading home on monday, we visited the Wittunga Botanic Garden. Haven't finished going through all the photos yet, we took a fair few. The ducks there are quite used to people (I suspect they get fed fairly often) & came quite close, perhaps hoping that our cameras would magically turn into bread.
