Kaiser Stuhl Great photos. Did you know that there is the remnants of what is reputed to be a 'pagan altar' on the NE side of Kaiser Stuhl? I read about this some years ago in a small pamphlet in the Tanunda Library. The 'altar' is a pile of boulders in a clearing. Personally I think it was probably just a primitive church that was established by the some of the early settlers, or even just an animal pen. The altar, according to the pamphlet, is supposed to have been constructed by the Sorbs, also known as the Wends. This was one of the minority groups of Lutheran people who emigrated to South Australia in the mid 1800s. Let me know if you have any comments.
Hi Brett Thanks for your comment Brett - it was great to hear from you all the way in Japan. I liked your joke too! I wonder where our adventures will take us next?
Dad would like to hear your account of the trip from Parachilna to Adelaide - Regan told an fun version...
Bye for now, Dan
sounds like a good time Hey Dan,
I like your riddle, and I've got one for you...
Q: What is the difference between here and there?
A: The letter 't'.
To all of the Quinn's, it sounds like you all are having a blast...I am still compiling a package for you all, so please sit tight and keep up the interesting adventures.
Brett
Great photo of Peter I really enjoy the photos in your blog. Exploring SA is one of those things I promised myself but didn't get around to!
Maybe on my next trip!!!!
sympathy on buckled bone Hi dan,
I was sorry t hear about your buckled bone but interested too as I've never known anyone to have such a condition. You look fairly comfortable with your arm in a sling. Will it limit it you when you go back to school?
local lovelies!!! Great to Semaphore get's a guernsey in your fabulous adventures. Love the bike track shots.
I ride down there regularly myself. All the best for your travels in 2006

Hi Loretta Thanks for your comment. One of our aims is to inspire others to experience some of the SA bush - so thanks for letting us know. Funny how you can live in a town for so long and not know what is just a short drive away! Experiencing butterflys is amazing - I remember climbing Mount Magnificant once when there were millions of butterflies that even landed on us. But often on our walks there are a few. Happy trails!
Great journal I really enjoyed your blog. Excellent photos, interesting jokes :-) Definately inspirational. Exploring SA is one of those things I'm always promising myself I'll do. I plan to do some butterfly spotting along the way. Cheers!!
hi there hikers
thanks for yet another informtive blog, I enjoy catching up with your expeditions.
Good to see that Dan has not run out of jokes, very impressive. we are off to look at bird cages as budgies are on the radar at the moment!! lots of love Polly
Beautiful Flinders Ranges Hi guys, you must keep busy, travelling all over SA! Your Flinders Ranges article as well as the pictures are great. We have visited the ranges at different times of the year and they have impressed us each time. Keep up the great work!
Great Memories Hi Dan,
we enjoyed your article on feeding the pelicans at American River. It brought up great memories of our trips to KI and the great times and great fish we enjoyed with your grand-parents. Keep up the good work!
Awesome Hey Guys,
Great pictures and a good story. I don't think I will ever forget it. Thanks again for everything and, by the way, the email address I got for you isn't working...if you still have mine please drop me a line. Take Care.

Hi Regan Thanks for your questions - the shoes one is good. You shouldn't wear sandles. Too many ants. Sandshoes are okay as there is only a few hard parts. Go slow there.
There are no picnic tables, water or toilets. We had our picnic on the bridge. Bring water, food (sandwiches and fruit), a first aid kit, a camera, a hat, sunscreen. You can use a tree branch to swish flies.
You don't really need a map, just follow the signs (see the picture). It is like a lollipop. You go up a short stick, then around in a circle and then down the stick. Easy.
I hope you have fun.
HI Dan Hey Dan,
I want to take my friends on a bushwalk to Kyeema Conservation Park. What should we take with us?
What sort of shoes should we wear?
Is there room there to have a picnic?
Where can I find a map?
Thanks for your help! See you for dinner tonight!
Hi Tiny Thanks for your comment - we hope you and Peter have a great Christmas and happy new year as well.
Are you staying ho ho home for the holidays?
from Dan
About us
We are a family who use our Sundays to discover, explore and enjoy the serenity of the world around us while getting some exercise.
We live in Semaphore, a beach-side suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. Although Adelaide and it's suburbs are quite flat, there is a range of hills that run North-South that provide for many interesting walks.
Here are some quotes that say some of what it means to us to go out bush walking.
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
