Stitched panorama of sunset at the Pink Lakes. Explored.

I think I have the ID of these right. :-) They are Australian native flowers which grow in the south of Australia and prefer sandy soils - we saw them in the Murray-Sunset National Park, where there is no shortage of sandy soils.

Inspired by energetic mountain climbers on this site, I decided to tackle the demanding climb to Mt Crozier in the Murray-Sunset National Park. The challenge will be obvious from the accompanying images of the route and view from the top! HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Here's. a suitable musical link . Explored.

The demanding route up Mt Crozier. Height 109M, way above the surrounding country which is typically only about 45M. :-)

A wide angle view of the Murray-Sunset National Park, seen from the summit of Mt Crozier (109M). "Flat" is indeed the operative word - Mt Crozier is the highest point in the region.

At the drying edge of one of the Pink Lakes. The water is extremely saline (up to 800 times that of sea water) and home only to an algae which coats itself in pink extrusions to protect itself from the sunlight. The intensity of the pink seems to vary depending on the light and, I gather, is most intense in mid-late summer (about February).
