Photos from The Coorong, South Australia

Last November I visited Adelaide. The highlight was a boat tour of the Coorong - the lagoon system at the mouth of the Murray river, south of Adelaide. Although I grew up in Adelaide, I'd never been there before (apart from Goolwa and surrounds).

The area is particularly rich in bird life, especially water birds. I went on the Spirit of the Coorong, a commercial tour boat that runs regular day long tours.
