Murray Bridge Bunyip Approximately eighty kilometers away from Adelaide lies the river city of Murray Bridge, boasting a population of almost twenty thousand residents. One of the city's most iconic features is the Bunyip, a mythical creature that captured the imagination of locals and visitors alike. The Bunyip made its first appearance next to the tranquil waters of the Murray River in Sturt Reserve back in 1972, sparking a mix of curiosity and wonder among onlookers. Initially known as Bert the Bunyip or Bertha, this mysterious creature was believed to inhabit the waters of the Murray River, adding a touch of mystique to the town's folklore. For a mere twenty cents, visitors could witness the Bunyip emerge from its cave three times with a resounding roar, creating a spectacle that left a lasting impression. As time passed, the price for this enchanting experience increased to one dollar, making it a cherished attraction for those seeking a taste of local legend. Fast forward to 2024, and the Bunyip has undergone a transformation. The revamped animated display now offers a free experience to all skeptics and believers alike, inviting them to witness the magic of the Bunyip without any cost. This gesture not only preserves the town's heritage but also invites a new generation to explore the mystique and charm of Murray Bridge through the lens of its iconic resident, the Bunyip.

Goolwa Historic Murray River port. Nearby to the Murray Mouth in South Australia. The impressive Hindmarsh Bridge completed in 2001 joins to Hindmarsh Island at Goolwa. Hindmarsh Bridge, a significant infrastructure project, was successfully completed in 2001, connecting Hindmarsh Island to Goolwa. This construction endeavor was carried out in accordance with the Hindmarsh Bridge Act of 1997, which set the legal framework for its development. However, the completion of the bridge marked the beginning of a complex and contentious chapter in the region's history. The project brought to the forefront a clash between national Aboriginal culture and property rights. The controversy stemmed from the intentions of property developers who sought to establish a 560-berth marina and a private resort on Hindmarsh Island. This proposal sparked heated debates and raised concerns about the potential impact on the island's environment, heritage, and indigenous communities. As tensions escalated, the situation garnered national attention and prompted a Federal Government Royal Commission inquiry to investigate the matter further. The inquiry aimed to assess the competing interests at play, evaluate the legal and ethical implications, and provide recommendations for a resolution that would balance development goals with cultural preservation and environmental conservation. It's understood the marina and resort development after lengthy delay was completed. Murray River and the Coorong The Coorong waterway is protected from the sea by a natural land barrier and begins at the Murray Mouth near Hindmarsh Island and extends about one hundred kilometres southeast from the mouth of the Murray. Small informative boat tours are available from Goolwa Wharf to the Murray mouth passing through a major river lock. A number of dredging boats may be observed working fulltime to keep the Murray River sea entrance open to boating and stop the build up of river silt. On our small boat tour the boat skipper caused some anxiety with us passengers watching on as our boat bumped into the lock with a thud. However this is perhaps normal practice to aline the boat in the dock with no damage done. A little amusing for us passengers after the event.

Bunjil As depicted in Australian aboriginal mythology. An ancestral being or deity. Often imagined as a wedge-tailed eagle which is common to Australia. Drive to Bunjil Shelter off Bunjil Cave Road. A twenty-five minute drive from Halls Gap. Outside of the Grampians National Park in the Black Range. Sealed roads lead to the site. Bunjil Rock Art Shelter The artwork depicting Bunjil, the creator of land and water, along with two dingos, holds a profound cultural significance in the landscape of Gariwerd, also known as the Grampians in southern Australia. The large outcrop of rock, where the artwork is situated, not only showcases a representation of Bunjil and the dingos but also features a distinctive upper body animal shape that adds to its mystical aura. This site serves as a powerful reminder of the deep connection between the Indigenous peoples of the region and the land they inhabit. The intricate details of the artwork symbolize the rich cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the traditional custodians of the land, highlighting their reverence for nature and the stories passed down through generations. As visitors engage with this artwork, they are invited to reflect on the enduring traditions and wisdom of the Indigenous communities that have nurtured and protected this sacred site for centuries. Rock Art Pranksters The rock art found in this area has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue, with rumors circulating that it was the handiwork of mischievous pranksters dating back to as early as 1910. However, upon closer examination and expert analysis, these claims have been debunked, revealing a much more ancient origin that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Over the years, this invaluable piece of history has faced numerous threats, including vandalism by individuals who sought to deface the artwork with lead paint. Fortunately, efforts were made to restore and preserve the rock art, with specialists successfully removing the damaging substances to reveal the true beauty and significance of the ancient depictions. To safeguard this precious cultural treasure from further harm, a protective wire cage has been installed around the rock art site, serving as a physical barrier against potential vandals and ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at this remarkable piece of history. The presence of this protective structure not only preserves the integrity of the artwork but also symbolizes the collective commitment to honoring and cherishing our shared cultural heritage for years to come. There is a short unmade walking track of about two hundred metres winding to the top of the hill and around down to the shelter and meanders back to the carpark mostly on flat ground.

Wind Farms Driving country roads in Victoria around the canola fields. During the spring months of September and October. There are longer hours of daylight, warmer days, green hills, wind farms and their spinning blades high above fields of canola crops. Blades up to 90 metre's in length and heights of towers to 150 metre's. Apparently wind farms generated about twenty percent of Victoria's electricity in 2023. Forty wind farms are completed with about another forty proposed as of 2024. Exploring the picturesque country roads of Victoria during the vibrant spring months of September and October is a truly enchanting experience. As you meander through the rolling landscapes, you are greeted by vast expanses of mesmerizing canola fields stretching as far as the eye can see. The lush green hills serve as a perfect backdrop to the golden sea of canola flowers, creating a stunning contrast that is a feast for the senses. One of the most captivating aspects of this journey is the longer hours of daylight, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings. The warm spring days bring a sense of rejuvenation and vitality, breathing life into the countryside. Along the way, you may also encounter majestic wind farms, with their towering turbines gracefully spinning in the breeze high above the canola crops. Each turn in the road unveils a new panorama of natural splendor, with the vibrant colors and textures of the landscape painting a picture of tranquility and serenity. The symphony of sights and sounds, from the gentle rustling of the canola flowers to the distant hum of the wind turbines, creates a harmonious melody that lulls you into a state of peaceful contemplation. Wimmera Canola Crops In the picturesque Wimmera region, vast expanses of paddocks are meticulously cultivated with the vibrant hues of canola plants, creating a stunning mosaic of green and yellow that captivates the eye before the imminent harvest. As the seasons progress, the transformation of the canola crops unfolds in a mesmerizing display of nature's cycle. The once vivid green and yellow canola fields gradually transition as the pods mature, turning a rich shade of brown, signaling the optimal time for the next stage of harvesting. In a carefully orchestrated process, the canola is windrowed, a method where the plants are cut and left to dry before being picked up by a combine harvester. This crucial step ensures that the crop is harvested at peak ripeness, guaranteeing the best quality seeds for processing. The harvested canola seeds are then transported to processing facilities where they undergo extraction to obtain the valuable edible oil contained within. Spring canola, reaching a height of approximately 1.2 meters or four feet, thrives in the fertile soils of the region, contributing to the agricultural tapestry of Western Victoria. The Wimmera region, located two hundred and fifty kilometers west of Melbourne, emerges as a hub of canola cultivation, with many fields sown with this versatile crop in anticipation of the spring season. The cultivation of canola not only adds to the visual splendor of the landscape but also plays a vital role in the local economy, showcasing the agricultural prowess of the region.
