Refelctions of limestone and tea tree on the Glenelg River








These photos were taken on a recent three day canoe trip up the Glenelg River.  We paddled 14 kilometers a day and camped each night in the National Park either side of the river. Traveling by river is the perfect way to see the landscape from a different perspective. You move along fairly slowly and its totally quiet apart from the bush noise. I loved getting lost in the intense greens, the limestone cliffs and the reflections in the water.  The bird life was amazing, we saw some rare cockatoos and lots of black cockatoos.  We were even lucky enough to hear a koala calling for a mate.  I would have said wild pigs but I am assured it was a koala. We didn't see it though.

Another thing that is interesting on the Glenelg River is the River Shack (that's what I'm calling it). There are dozens of these shacks. Some of them look as though they're lived in and others look like they're being swallowed by the river. You can see them for yourself when I post them in a little series.

Already these photos have influenced Colour Makes Me Happy. I have been working on it again since my last post about it but it has already changed again due to the influence the Glenelg River
