Meningie Birds

Spent a couple of days working in Meningie recently so had a couple of nice early mornings by Lake Albert. Loads of birdlife around and a very serene setting.

Great pics as usual Rick. Must admit I had to Google "Meningie" but it looks like an idyllic spot..."Meningie is a town on the south-east side of Lake Albert in South Australia. It is on the Princes Highway near The Coorong and was surveyed in 1866. At the 2006 census, Meningie had a population of 940.

This is near the land you have purchased if I'm not mistaken?

How are you coping with the heat down there? I saw predictions of 44C in Adelaide for to-day!!!

Thanks John. Yes, new place is about 20ks South of Meningie. 

Damn hot here all week, cool change can't get here early enough.

Gorgeous photos! I love the shot of the Pelican just barely landing on the water.

P.S. It's pretty hot in Victoria as well (41C) although not as hot as South Australia. I hope there won't be any more boiling days like these.

M.M.
