Cleland Wildlife Park

The best wildlife park I have been so far. My second stop after Mt Lofty Lookout. You can wander through the wildlife park at your leisure and the interesting part is mingle with the wildlife. Great. It all Australian wildlife in Cleland Wildlife Park.

They even have guided night walk if you like too. It is an interesting place to come even though I was sceptical initially from my previous experience visit wildlife park in Melbourne. I really like this place very much.

The Tasmanian Devil. The name of the game, keep on running around and around and around ......... Can't even make it stop for a while.

All kinds of kangaroos and all kinds of wallabies. I can't even differentiate each one of them. I suppose wallabies is much smaller with short tail.

Feeding the Kangaroo. It tickled me. :)

Touch and feel the kangaroo. Nice. They are so friendly. Once you approached them, they definitely will come to you.

Monitors. Australian second largest lizards

Koala. More healthy and friendly too. You could cuddle them and take pictures with the koala.

Dare to hold or even touch the snake, then the snake is yours.

The friendly pelican.

The sleeping beauty. The pelican hiding it beak.

The stilt

The Heron

Emus. Touch them they won't run away.

All kinds of birds you will find here

Didn't realise I spent two and a half hours in Cleland Wildlife park. I enjoyed it very much.

Mount Lofty Botanic Garden

On my way back, stop for a while at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. Not much of exploring though it is a big area. I have only few minutes and need to catch a bus going back to the city. If you like nature's walk. This will be a great place with Nature trail and a tranquil lake system. I do enjoy it but not now.

Tarndanya Womma Park - Adelaide Park Land

Located behind Adelaide Festival Center and Dunstan Playhouse. The park is part of the Torrens Linear Park Walk. The total walking track is 10 km, you could see many people it either jogging, brisk walking and cycling. It is a nice place to lie down, relaxing and made your own entertainment while viewing the river scenery.

Dunstan Playhouse.One of favorite places for family to come during weekend.


The flowers came from a middle of no where. Hehe....

River fountain

Part of Public Art display by Thylacine Art Project, Taking our way home. There are four of them located in the middle of Torrens River.



This 'stage' (I am not sure what you called this) is one of the park attraction.

Offering a river cruises

You could see everybody do their own things and I do mean everything. :)

Tram Trip in Adelaide

The only tram line in Adelaide. You can take tram free ride within City Center region. Once out of the city center region, must have valid ticket. There will be a conductor in the tram selling the tickets. Take a trip to Glenelg Beach by this train.

I have been to Glenelg the previous day during sunset, I have not seen camel that day. Spent my time there while waiting for the next tram to come.

Henly Beach

It about 10 minutes drive from the City. Still along the same coastal line as Glenelg and other beaches. Like the beaches here in South Australia, white and sandy beaches. Soft and nice to lie down.

As in Glenelg, peoples likes to catch crabs and fish.

Great time sitting by the beach, strong cooling wind. Listen to the sounds of wave. Good conversation with your best friend.

Nice picturesque scenery. Able to identified the shape of the sun

As if there is a door to another part of the Universe.

and the sun going down under...........

Still the activities keep going on after sunset. Mesmerising the moment and wonders of the creator.

Port Adelaide

Port Adelaide just less than 15 minutes drive from CBD. Known as port city with a unique, salty tang to its environs. (This is what they said). It is an historic maritime heart of South Australia. I adore with it historical building. I always like historic building any where not only here. Port Adelaide officially established in 1840.

First stop the information center. The building was so obvious, nobody could missed it. Absolutely stunning. Was impressed when I first saw the building without knowing it is an information center building.

At the end of the commercial road another beautiful building

A nice place to have you breakfast. Cappuccino, latte just 2.50 dollars. Add another 1.50 dollars you have your muffin.

I think more than 3 museums here in Port Adelaide and this is one of those museums. Maritime museum. Pay 10.00 dollars please. Nope not for me...

Bank of Adelaide building.


Old telegraph station. Wish the service still operating. :)

Final stop before the cruises. The tallest structure in Port Adelaide. A lady was making a joke to us. 'Yes, two teenagers, will cost both of you one dollar each'. Hahaha she was so funny. And it was one dollar each. Suppose we have to pay 2 dollars each. People after us they have pay full amount. :)

Really the people here are really really nice.

In side the lighthouse

View from the light house. There is also a sand sculpture exhibition. But you have to pay 10 dollars per entrance. Thank God, decided not to get in other wise I am wasting my money for nothing. Sure I am interested in arts but it too much. You can judge yourself.

Nice scenery, the 'city' of Port Adelaide. Small city. We finished touring less than 30 minutes. :)

Port Adelaide - Dolphine Cruises

3.50 Aussie dollar the price for a boat cruises to dolphin sanctuary. My expectation was really high, I want to see many dolphins and take pictures of dolphins. I shouldn't actually. Previous experience when seeing the smallest penguin in the world at Philips Island was my first failure. Expecting thousands but ending up seeing less than 100 penguin. Hmmm was really disappointed though. Anyway back to my dolphin cruises..........

It was a nice day, today temperature was good, 17 C to start with and by the time we start our boat cruises it was 21 C with strong cold wind. Nice. The trip will take approximately 2 hours.

Saw cargo ship, at another part of Port Adelaide Harbour.

Small jetty for sail boats. So many sail boats passes and go to Port Adelaide.

One of 3 dolphins that we saw during the cruises. It was so fast and so unpredictable. Can't really focus much. Was really disappointed though. As I thought, this kind of tour will ending up failure. Hmmm..again...

I am diverting my frustration by taking photos of sail boat. So many of them. At least something.

Other attraction, pelican. Felt a little bit better. Only that the pelicans were further away. Once the boat getting nearer to them, they will fly away. This was the closest I could get with my zoom lens 300mm, wish I have telephoto with longer zoom lens.

Half way through , about 1 hour the boat made a U turn. On our way back, I am still hoping to see the dolphins. But nil. Our 2 hours trip ended and the only thing I have a picture of a dolphin. Might get better next time but some other places. I hope so.

Adelaide Park Land

Start my day with exercise, my regular routine which I won't missed it even though I am at some other places. Adelaide is not an exceptional. Went to Karrawirra Park and had a nice walk through out the park.
