We both love the Australian outdoors and exploring the wonders of nature that abounds in this wonderful land.

Over the next few days I plan to post a few of the flower photos I have taken at one of our favourite picnic spots, the Pangarinda Arboretum at Wellington, a small town about half an hour drive from our home in Murray Bridge.
