Trams, whales, pink lakes and salt

Dear Great Gran,
we have just returned from our holiday in South Australia - here's Ruthie and Julie on the Granite Island bridge at Victor Harbour with a horse drawn tram coming towards them.
And here's a self-propelled tram using the same tracks:

We saw fairy penguins on Granite Island and southern right whales with calves lazing just offshore on nearby beaches. On the way back, we camped by Pink Lakes in Murray Sunset National Park and took this photo of Pink Lake at Sunset in the National Park.
Ruth found licking the salt on the salt pan irresistible. The strong wind dropped at sunset - and we saw a wierd phenomenon where the crystal clear water of the lake moved back over the salt pan like an incoming tide.

And finally here we are on an old salt stockpile - rock hard now - from when salt was mined from pink lake.
much love
Brendan
