An old pier on Lake Albert

Meningie - South Australia view map

The shores of Lake Albert is a charming holiday destination at the
northern end of The Coorong. The great attractions of this area are
the boating & bird watching.

Originally inhabited by
the Ngarrindjeri people of which there were five tribal groups.

These days with modern agricultural methods of irrigation & cropping,
The Meningie district is known as a hugely successful dairy area
as well as producing substantial acreage of irrigated crops.
The town also has a large fishing fleet.

Wow, at first I thought it was the ocean. Beautiful shot, this must be a huge lake.

That's a superb image Yvonne!

An instructive image and a forlorn sight indeed. It is sad to see how far the water has receded during the current long drought. We can only hope for rain that might restore the environment over time - or is this the new environment for the indefinite future?
