All of those who represented each of the states lined their cars up. Twenty-two Scouts. Some were missing in this picture, as some lagged behind, and my camera just couldn’t fit a couple more in.
The 2009 Scout Convention has finished. There won’t be another one now until 2011, and that one will be in the Blue Mountains behind Sydney.
We’ve met some terrific people here and had a great time. We’ve gone on convoys around the place having a look at the general area.
The sparkling waters of Boston Bay that surrounded Port Lincoln were awesome. This is truly a place where the desert meets the sea.
This sandy beach of Coffin Bay led us to one of the large sea birds you’ll see.
A Sea Eagle taking off in flight, once it discovered we were planning on staying there……
to a large Emu nursery. Also known as “Bush chooks” (translation: Bush chickens)...these birds which are similar to ostriches, blend into their surroundings instead of standing out.
Yes, it’s been loads of fun and while Col gets his scout worked on tomorrow, we’ll head out to a few places and do some last minute touring. Friday we head north to Flinder’s Ranges and Lake Eyre. We now are heading into ‘desert’ country. No more leafy green bushes or tropical settings for a while.
And for those who only want to see photos, I currently have them on the “My Space” link. Tomorrow, I’ll have some more on the “More photos” link.
