Ferry across the Murray

Driving from Adelaide to the Coorong, we stopped for lunch at a pub on the banks of the Murray where I took this pic of a ferry.

Popeye

Something even older than me. Popeye has been a feature of the River Torrens in Adelaide from as far back as I can remember.

NZ bridge

I don’t now if anyone has ever calculated the number of bridges per mile of road for countries but, if so, I’d bet that New Zealand is up near the top of that list. This is one of the first that we came across during this last trip to NZ. It set the tone for half of the rest of our pictures: bridge, river, trees, mountains.

NZ bridge 2

Whoever lives in that house at the top has a hell of a climb down to their boat. Also, note the water level marks on the bridge pontoons!

River and hills

Clicking on the picture goes to Flickr where there’s a 4096px wide version.

Really must get to NZ in the early spring when valleys like this will be filled with glacial meltwater.
