The tennis

"On ya".

In the morning Karin and I had a game of tennis.

It was great exercise and fun and we both learned a bit. I had a lot more to learn than Karin though ;-)

In the afternoon we all drove to Port Vincent for a Fish and chips lunch. Superfresh fish, it was very yummmmm. The view was once again beautiful.

We found a giant table.

Supermarket posters.

This was the little cabin we rented. It had everything you needed.

"Tru blu" parked almost next door.

Nicole and I went for a small walk into town. On our way we saw these cockies sitting in a tree. They can be INCREDIBLY noisy, especially at the crack of dawn...

In Minlaton a man called Harry Butler once flew this airplane. It's suposed to be the last of it's kind.

Directions in the middle of town.

Along big roads in South Australia (and maybe elsewhere) they have put up markers to remind people of the importance to drive carefully. It's scary sometimes howmany red and black ones you see.

In the evening we watched the final of the Australian Open. I would have liked Tsonga to win but no. Maybe next year.

Aren't those birdies called "rozallas"? Or are those something totally different?

Can you actually get pinkie cockatoos?

Surely you must've seen cockatoos in European petshops (at about E800 each!)... yet they fly around free of charge Down Under... how superior for them!

ps if you want a brilliant birdie blog (though you might have to trawl a bit for the birdie posts as they're lost among so many more recently)... go to

@ Gled: It's probably called something different from what I said but to me they're all cockies LOL. I come here and now find myself having to learn 100 new animals, it's not easy ;-)
