Yes, Australia has borders - between the different States. This is the Northern Territory and South Australia border, where there is a bench (see note) and some much needed shade. As I write this, the temperature out there is over 40C. One from the archives. HBM and have a good week, everyone.

At the foot of Mt Cook, with the adjacent Hooker Glacier (marked with note) and associated lake. I understand the glacier extended to the photo position only a few years ago, now there's just this little iceberg. Explored.

Sunset over New Zealand's highest peak (3724m). Explored.

Across Lake Wakatipu at Queenstown. Repays viewing large. Explored. My friend Tacheles suggested this as a musical link and I'd have to agree.

On the walk toward the Franz Josef Glacier on New Zealand's south island. Almost all the world's glaciers are in retreat - and those in New Zealand are no exceptions. For a comparison of how much, see the PiP note, copied from an information sign. Climate change at work. Explored page 1.

Looking north on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. Some years ago there was a curious movie called "The Piano" , set somewhere on this coast in the 1800s. Much of the story centred around a grand piano which came ashore through the waves (!) - and that gives me the excuse for this musical link to the soundtrack.

I think (without being totally confident) that this is a native wildflower known as Australian Bugle (Ajuga australis) . The flowers are not very large, probably about 12mm across.

The long-tailed parrots come in a spectrum of varieties. This particular version is found in the Eyre Peninsula area. An old shot, copied across from the other site.

Where there are fish in Australia, there almost certainly are Australian Pelicans! Another shot copied across from the other site.

Fairly common across southern Australia, the name comes from the red wattles (akin to ornamental ears). They love flowering trees.

I think it's time I posted another mono shot. Wind farms seem to be either "love them" or "hate them". These are in South Australia
