Adelaide Hills District - August 2015

We travelled from the Adelaide CBD by bus to join the Murray River Paddle Steamer which gave us an opportunity to see some of the Adelaide country side.  

It was a bad weather day unfortunately but the countryside was still beautiful and green. 

Some of these photos were taken on our return journey from Mannum Wharf to Adelaide after our three day paddle steamer experience.

South Australian Museum, Adelaide SA - August 2015

The South Australian Museum in Adelaide was a surprise package.  From the outside of the building the museum looks quite small. We decided to visit the museum as it got us out of the bitterly cold wind  

which made it too uncomfortable to visit any open areas of Adelaide.

I was very impressed with the displays and the volume and variety of animals on display.  They were all very lifelike and the museum was set out so we could wander through all the displays with ease. It was a good decision to take the time to visit the museum and I enjoyed the experience.

This is a must see for overseas visitors as a lot of the Australian animals are on display as well as those from the rest of the planet.
