this is the native Darling/Murray lily -(Crinum Flaccidum)-a wonderful lily which flowers when conditions are right – usually after a decent amount of rain. Clumps of these in greening paddocks look beautiful at any time ๐

A wedding!
On April 5th , a couple chose Kulcurna as the backdrop for their wonderfully fun wedding. Please CLICK on the photo here, which will take you to some of the professional photos on Flickr. These were taken by the talented Mandi Whitten :ย http://www.mandiwhitten.com/
Lest We Forget
ANZAC morning at Kulcurna is always a special time . This year the sounds of the Last Post cam from a real instrument , not a recording – and drifted across the water to greet the sun.
Around 80 people shared the service ,and breakfast afterward.
There were babies at their first ANZAC , people who well remembered WW2 and those who had served in Vietnam.
Bushfire beauty
Over this past week, with temperatures hovering around 45 deg C there have been thunderstorms .Bushfires were started in many parts of the country , including the area to our West .
This is a sky view taken on 17 th January ..looking at the smoke cloud from a large fire near Renmark,South Australia.
Paddlin’ down the River…..on a sunny afternoon ….
Angelo and Nugget on their way from Wentworth to Renmark. This is a shorter trip for these two , having kayaked down some of the longest waterways in the Murray Darling catchment area over the past few years .
Angelo and Nugget
Veteran kayakers, the captain & first mate called in to top up their rainwater cask , and let the first mate check out the landscape ๐
Here’s looking at you
When are you coming to look at me?
Visitors with curiosity in the eyes, questions in their minds, and cameras in their hands are most welcome ๐
Spring at Kulcurna
We are lucky this year to have had rain at the best time to allow native plants to get to flowering stage ๐ It has been just lovely seeing the different colours and types of flowers & fruit – including the delicious quandongs !
Inquisitive
Early Morning .. a touch of mist ,and the sun mostly being hidden by clouds. I was trying to photograph some wildflowers , when I heard a noise, and saw this little kangaroo hopping straight for me ๐
Closer and closer she hopped , then stopped to have a long gaze and a sniff – we exchanged a ‘Good morning’ , and off she went again .
Stormy Weather
provides some spectacular colours in the sky . ๐ Great backdrop for photos !
