Lunch timeBrian Eglinton

Small birds are a challenge to photograph as they quickly flit around the trees and bushes.

This red browed finch was pausing long enough to get the shot as it was scoffing some seeds for lunch in Morialta Gorge.

Second FallsBrian Eglinton

Adelaide has the remarkable Morialta Gorge within a short distance from the CBD. It has a series of waterfalls and is often frequented by rock climbers drawn to its walls.

Second Falls can be viewed from various tracks, but it is a bit of a scramble seeking to avoid blackberries to get to its base.

This is the view a short distance downstream near some enormous fallen blocks.

Back in the forestNorth-north-west

They finally lengthened the leash during our pandemic lockdown in June. Cape Surville was the first decent walk since coming off the Port Davey Track in March and it didn't disappoint, especially the beautiful little pocket of rainforest halfway along the track.

Mount AbruptBrian Eglinton

The Flinders Ranges are notable for rich colours. The best time to walk is the cooler months, and the Heysen Trail makes for good multi-day walking. It runs along the valley under the north wall of Wilpena Pound which swings north to become the Heysen Range.

Early in that range is Mount Abrupt, a peak that stands out from the rest. Here its quartzite faces contrast with the light colour of the limestone foothills and the green of the native pines spaced out over the deep red soils.

WeebilBrian Eglinton

Ice pools have always fascinated me due to the myriad patterns they form, but this day - wandering around up on Western Bluff - was the first (indeed, the only) time I have seen angular patterns like this. Perhaps someone out there can explain the physics behind it; I'll stick to photographing them.

ABC dawnBrian Eglinton

Vertical perspectiveJohn Walker

Getting up early and doing some off track scrambling in the open forests and rocky ridges of the ABC Range leads to fantastic views of the morning sun on the north wall of Wilpena Pound.

This view covers from Point Bonney on the left past St Marys Peak and the Sawtooth to Mount Abrupt.
