Arrived on site

The survey we are working on now is at a place called Carrapateena, on the edge of Lake Torrens, South Australia. Lake Torrens is dry for most of the time and is a salt lake, the surrounding area is desert to semi-desert with scatterings of salt bush and blue bush (both about 1 ft high).

It is in the driest state of the driest country on earth! (note: I said driest country, not continent as that would be antarctica which is not a country but a group of territories owned by several countries)

Oh and it rained for a few days before we got there. Maybe we should take a second job as rain makers?


OK OK enough talk, time for pics...

The access road (over100km of sand/dirt)

No place for a tree hugging hippy


Erosion can make good sculptures
