The trip to see Lake Eyre was cancelled after we had arrived in Adelaide ( thick cloud all the way to Alice Springs), so we hired a car and headed off to explore the Yorke peninsula instead. It is a pretty amazing place with lots of history and some quite spectacular landscapes. The remnant vegetation in Innes National Park was also quite impressive with lots of woody shrubs and small trees in flower.
Here are some wildlife photos :

| Sleepy lizard |
It was quite a thrill to see a sleepy lizard for the first time and indeed we saw quite a few of them over the 2 days in the area. They are an interesting lizard in that they give birth to live and large young (35% of the weight of the mother - ie equivalent to a woman giving birth to a 6 yr old!) Kadina - a township in the peninsula is an aboriginal word meaning lizard plain
