On the walk we also passed this unusual sculpture, a memorial to the Canadian Armed Forces.
There was an amazing array of Lillies around a small pond, and this bright red flower on a shrub near the carpark. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoos were out in force making the most of the various nuts to be found. First they landed with raucous call, then carefully select the right nut before flying up into the tree, while this young Australian Magpie watched on in amusement.
After lunch we visited the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens. The gardens were packed with families picnicking, and generally enjoying a beautiful autumn day. As we walked around, we heard the evocative sound of a didgeridoo being played, which really created a wonderful atmosphere.
There were leaves of many colours, and the kids were having a ball with them.
One thing I noticed there was a huge variety of lichens on the trees, something that I rarely see in the city.
Finally, by the car park, there was a huge hedge of Hebe which was full of busy bees!!
